-Great start from Mizzou. It seemed like they really came out looking to correct what went wrong against Texas A&M. This is the SEC, though, so you knew Florida was going to settle in and make their own run.

-Huge, huge, huge minutes from Tre Gomillion.He seemed to be the conductor during the team's game-opening run. He hasn't been as productive in the past few games, but he's stepped up today.

-The offense once again got muddied up once Florida stopped turning the ball over and forced the Tigers to play in the halfcourt. I think Mizzou did a good job at getting to the free throw line to counter it. If easy shots aren't coming naturally, try to draw contact.

-Missouri's done a decent job against Colin Castleton. He hasn't been a non-factor (it's rare that an All-SEC player is) but he also hasn't taken over the game. I think it's especially impressive that the Tigers have only allowed two offensive rebounds while grabbing 4 of their own.

-Mo Diarra got a bunch of short stints in the half. A few of you have asked if we would ever see him in the rotation and Gabe and I would always say "Whose minutes does he take?" The answer is Aidan Shaw, who didn't play at all in the first half. I think it's too early to say that one is clearly better than the other. But it's clear there aren't really enough moments for both players to get on the court.
