This one feels kinda like an 8/9 game at noon on Thursday at the SEC Tourney. The atmosphere, the pace, the lack of energy from the teams and the fans, the quality of play.

Missouri and Tennessee combined for 20 turnovers. At least eight of them were travels. Maybe more.

When they managed to get a shot off, the Vols actually shot it relative well, going 11-23. Mizzou was just 10-28, but stayed in it with 12 points off the 11 Volunteer turnovers.

Kobe Brown was a bright spot, relatively speaking. He scored six points to lead Mizzou and seems to be getting a little more assertive. Torrence Watson didn't light it up, but he made a three and had a layup on a nice cut. Reed Nikko remains the guy that most knows and fulfills his role on this team.

Missouri is 8-0 when it holds the opponent under 60. It is 0-5 when it gives up more than 60. The Vols are a little more than halfway there.
