-No Isiaih Mosley (our best guess is he's under the weather) and only a four minutes of Kobe Brown and Mizzou is still up by seven. That's a good sign for this team. I think they definitely suffered on the defensive end without Kobe though.

- @GabeD said Nick Honor > Sean East "and it's not particularly close." I tend to agree. Honor has five points and three steals. East is 1-5 shooting.

-My top "Key to the Game" I wrote in the preview was for the Tigers to dictate the pace and they've 1000% done that so far. They're up to 11 steals, which plays directly into their hands. I also don't think we've talked enough about just how good they are at finishing in transition. It doesn't matter if they have a numbers advantage or not, they always seem in control going downhill on a fast break, slowing down just enough to get to the right angle they need.

-Wichita State is not a good shooting team but shot 42.9% from deep in the first half. I would expect that to regress to the mean a bit in the second.
