*Mizzou has been the more aggressive, energetic team.
*A game after getting destroyed on the boards, the Tigers are doing the destroying, particularly on the offensive end. Mizzou leads in total rebounds 24-17 and in offensive boards 10-6 (the Tigers have 11 second chance points). Reed Nikko led the way with seven points and six rebounds in only nine minutes before picking up his second foul.
*Speaking of fouls, could we have fewer in the second half? There were 25 fouls and 34 free throws in the first half. I didn't see many particularly terrible calls, but my word it made for a choppy game that was no fun to watch.
*Mizzou's defense has been really good. The Razorbacks haven't played particularly well, but Missouri deserves some credit for that. Arkansas has more turnovers than made field goals.
*Honestly, it feels like Mizzou should be ahead by more.
*The recipe is pretty simple: Mizzou needs to attack the rim and keep dominating on the glas. This i a small Arkansas team whose big hope is to get hot shooting the ball and come back. Missouri doesn't need to shoot a three that isn't completely unguarded the rest of the day.
