-I thought the team looked kind of hesisitant to shoot the ball coming out? There were looks where I thought guys passed up a lot of looks where they had enough room to get a shot off. And then when they did shoot it, they were thinking about it way too much - like, they were in such a panic to get their first make. When they finally stopped doubting whether or not it was a good shot, the 3s started falling.

-The decision-making with some of the passes (and non-passes) today has been questionable at best. Mizzou's assist-to-turnover ratio is usually the best indicator of how the team is playing and today's is not great so far.

-Mizzou's been pretty efficient inside the paint. Georgia doesn't have a rim protector and Kobe brown and Mohamed Diarra have really taken advantage. Georgia adjust by sending double teams at both guys. The Tigers have to keep making their 3s to keep the defense honest.

-I thought this was one of Diarra's better games. I think being in the starting lineup has really given him a boost of confidence and him and Kobe seem to pair really well in the frontcourt, mainly because Kobe doesn't have to match up with the biggest guy on the floor.

-BIG 3-pointer from Carter to end the half. Mizzou's down, but I think the mistakes are pretty easy to correct. They're on pace to hit their magic number, which is a good sign. They've just got to lock in on defense and keep Georgia from picking up easy baskets on the fast break.
