-Nate Oats speaking first. He was asked if there was anything inappropriate said by the student section about the Darius Miles situation. He said there was, but that security did its job and escorted them out. He doesn't think it represented Mizzou as a whole, just that sometimes kids don't understand the severity of a situation.

-Oats said once they heard Kobe was out, they figured Isiaih Mosley was going to be the guy that stepped up. Called him a really aggressive scorer and thinks Mizzou is a perfect system for him. Said that he'll get better with more reps.

-Talking to Gates, Nick Honor and Aidan Shaw now. Gates said he loved the atmosphere again. Said he was just being cautious with Kobe Brown and isn't going to say anything other than what was put in the statement he put out.

-Gates said he still thinks Alabama is the No. 1 team in the country. They didn't do a good job of taking away Alabama's energy. He was disappointed they only got to the free throw line seven times in the second half after how good of a job they did against Arkansas.

-Gates said Aidan Shaw was going to get his first start today regardless of Kobe being out. He said since Kobe wasn't available, he wanted to put Shaw on the floor alongside an experienced forward, leading to Noah Carter also returning to the starting lineup. He said he thought about starting Diarra but didn't want to quite yet -- he's still getting into the swing of things.

-Nick Honor said it's been really good to have Isiaih Mosley back on the floor. He opens up the offense a lot.

-Nick on the missed layups: "It's just one of those days."

-Gates said he thought he played Mosley too many minutes tonight and it took away his legs on jump shots. They have to build up his conditioning.

-Gates said he's proud of how much Aidan Shaw has grown. Said he took the DNP in stride and had some really good practices afterward.
