Missouri is not going to win many games when it gives up 42 points in a half. Because the Tigers made seven threes...and still scored just 30 points. I mean, we just saw a half where Mitchell Smith made three threes and Axel Okongo scored and Missouri is trailing a bad team by 12 points.

UGA is terrible on defense but Mizzou is shooting 34.5% including 3-13 from TWO-POINT range. They've gotten to the free throw line only four times.

I'm sure there's some distress about the officiating (Georgia has shot 13 free throws). But it can't just be bad officiating every single game. This team hacks. A lot. They constantly give the other team chances at free points.

Georgia is dominating the glass 21-13.

I want to stress Georgia is not good and I do not think they are playing all that well. The offensive plan appears to be just sprint toward the rim and figure out what you're going to do when you get there. But it's good enough to be up 12 points on Missouri. This team is lost. I don't know what it does well. And if it doesn't hurry up and figure out a way to come back in this half, I'm not real sure where the next win on the schedule is.
