Mizzou Arena has as much atmosphere as likely exists in your living room watching this one. Actually maybe less. Some of you are probably more excited about it than the people here.
The good: Torrence Watson made a couple shots, Jeremiah Tilmon was pretty aggressive (despite a GOD AWFUL foul cll three minutes into the game.
Reed Nikko has carved out an honest to goodness role on this team. He is tied for the team lead with six points and has played well.
Chris Silva battled foul trouble and really didn't hurt Missouri at all.
The bad: Missouri at one point was shooting 54% while South Carolina was shooting 28% and the Tigers had a three point lead. Missouri has ten turnovers against a team that applies almost zero defensive pressure. Most of them have come as a result of simply kicking the ball away. Xavier Pinson has three of them and may sit for long stretches of the second half.
Missouri is ahead and has never trailed, though it seems like the Tigers should be up more. We'll see again if they can manage to hang on to a second half lead this time around.
