Hope they get good refs.
Man what a tale of two half’s. They started the game off the same way as they have been, going down 8 or so to 0 but then coming back quick to be ahead by the time the score passed 20 points. They were very orchestrated the first half and went into the locker with a respectable lead.
Tennessee made the right adjustments and stayed glued to the outside game and Gates didn’t have an answer for it. Zero penetration and they somehow thought they could stay with the perimeter game plan with at least one defender in their jock straps at all times.
They did make a good push at the end of the game that made it look closer than it could have been.
Overall, they were not expected to go into and beat Tennessee on their home court, but I still believe it could have very easily happened if Mizzou could have made the right adjustments. When defenders are playing around the 3-point arch there is plenty of cuts that open up and it just seemed like the Tigers hadn’t prepared for that.
Hopefully a good bounce back game Saturday in CoMo…we shall see.

I like that analysis Dabs.
But fact is Tennessee was playing out of their azz on those 3's.
They are NOT even known for 3 point execution.
The SEC is just brutal. Yet another stronger ranked team opponent (10) this Saturday.
But I thought Missouri hung in and on a better day could have beat Tennessee even with their seeing eye 3's.
Onward we go.
Go Tigers!
