The announcers are painful to my ears.

Agree. (Unsure of the announcer’s name), but he’s a big Missouri homer obviously. I can remember him being the color man for TV games in Columbia, MO when we were in the Big 8. Obvious bias, but he does a helluva job! lol

I still am confident in our team’s future but this game is absolutely a bull **** effort and game. Also another dis towards isu by espn. Really we’re going to have a ex Missouri player call the game

This game just a stinker. If Missouri makes the Tournament, prediction 1 and done. That could be us too if we play like we have today.

It's been proven that it can be the case for any team in any seed to ever play the tournament.

This team better hope Grill comes back healthy, or this could be an epic collapse in the second half of conference play. This team plays lost without him. They played lost when he was out a few games ago and repeated that same play today.

Need to get into a full court press and see if they can change things. Mizzo is just shooting too well and there isn't enough time left to work back into this game.

Who do you insert into give a spell at the 3 or 4 spot then? How is Ward's footwork on the block? How well does he defend?

You think that Robert Jones' footwork is better than Ward's. Even if it is, the guy badly misses his attempts the majority of the time. Are you watching a different person than the rest of us? Look, the guy gives good energy and I like him as a person, but he should not be seeing this many minutes a game. While Ward isn't some generational talent, I'll take him playing more minutes if it means Jones goes less.

I know I'm being silly here, but maybe we we go without a big and just see if we can gain an advantage there? Otherwise, there aren't many options. Rob is trying hard in most of the situations, he just needs to figure out how to pass out of the block. For some unknown reason, he draws 2 even 3 guys a lot OR he dribbles into and occupies 2 or 3 guys, which means someone is WIDE open. If he could learn to pass out of the that, he could be useful. Until he figures that out, his O game is a detriment to the team.

AND I love BRE still. Just want him to fix a big issue.
