Offense: They had six assists. Without Sean East dribbling around till he finds a seam or Nick Honor launching threes, they had nothing.

Defense: They're awful at it. One guy scored 42 on 15 shots. When they do get a stop it's usually because of a foul. Arkansas didn't have a point in the opening 4 minutes and scored 88.

Overall: What's the hope for the future? Missouri got 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists from players that are eligible to return next season and virtually all of it was from Tamar Bates. The combined total for Aidan Shaw, Jordan Butler, Anthony Robinson, Mabor Majak and Connor Vanover in this game: 7 points (2-5 shooting), 6 rebounds, 0 assists, 14 fouls, 2 turnovers in 58 minutes played. That's disgusting.

The future: I'd try to bring back Tamar Bates. Other than that, whatever. I'm not saying don't bring anyone else back, I'm just saying there's nobody whose departure will cause me to lose any sleep.
