Are we sure the game is on ESPN360?
The ESPN scoreboard isn’t indicating that it is.

Hmm...
…might have been an assumption on my part, but I have no idea why it WOULDN’T be on 360…

3-3
putback for USC and Gibson split a pair, then Tiller knocked down a 3.
And now a dunk for USC. 5-3

Gibson is going to get 30 rebounds at this rate

It would seem radio stations actually are not supposed to be
streaming the games on their on-line sites…evidently it violates something in the contracts, so I think the fact I found the game on Thursday was a fluke

Game is at an interesting point
Anderson has made a point to play the “kids” in this tourney…but I think a win is bigger today for the program than the experience (of which there will be plenty more chances). Do you ride the starters right now for perhaps the better shot at the win, or do you stay with the gameplan of playing the freshman and perhaps not give your team the best shot to win?

I disagree
I think our ceiling becomes a lot higher the sooner the kids get a little seasoning, and since I don’t really see the NCAA tourney as a possibility, I’m all for seasoning. Does that make me optimistically pessimistic?

Well...given our lack of offensive movement
given our continuing of chucking up 3’s and missing free throws…does not look like it is going to matter who is playing today :-)

And since the alternative to playing the kids...
…is playing an okay point guard, a streaky 3-point shooter, an energy guy who’s a lot more valuable as a bench guy than a starter, and two PF’s who can’t shoot FT’s, I’m that much more for playing the kids.

If we are looking ahead then (given the seasoning we are seeing)
Wow….what happens to our somewhat non-existent inside game next season when we lose Carroll and Lyons? 30 3’s per game? :-)

Every time they take a 3...
…I think “Yeah, I’ll give them that shot” because either it’s 3 feet beyond the line, or the dude couldn’t figure out what else to do with it so he yanked the shot up…and every time I say that, they make it. Luckily I’m about to go to an open house, so I won’t be able to jinx us any more (since the USC lead has gone up about 8 points since I started watching live)…

Nice hustle by Safford...
yeah…I dont think it should have counted, but it counts all the same. Ironic that it was one of the first times we scored on the inside since Gibson went to the bench :-)

Well..what do you think we should have done since he went to the bench?
Keep chucking them up from the outside or try to get our two leading scorers in rythym on the inside?
This may help you, but understand that I think Anderson needs to win THIS YEAR perhaps more than most, given what is going to leave our team and how we are going to go back to being a “young” team next year. Coming out of here 1-2, especially given how we played in the 2 is not my idea of a successful trip, regardless of the “seasoning” they are getting

I'm just watching the game.
I’m not extremely optimistic about the future of the program, but I know that a) I don’t feel like making harsh judgments every time they do something bad, and b) I’m applying the “Next Time” theory to Mizzou—the next time Mizzou’s actually good (which probably won’t be this year), it will be with the current freshmen, not with MLaw, etc. Everything is viewed through that prism.

Well..I am just looking at the program
and seeing not a whole lot new from year to year and game to game. And I am of the belief that without some change at a very basic and fundamental level, your “next time” may unfortunately refer to the next coach and not the next class of freshmen since I dont see much adjustment or coaching going on…just people trying to find their way perhaps at the expense of wins and losses which I view as (more) important (than you).
And if a live blog is not for talking about positives and negatives in a game…then I am not too sure what the point is :-)

Isn’t it the 5th place game? Is someone earning a tie that I don’t know about?

Why does St. Louis even bother fielding a team anymore? Any team that makes the Bears offense looks good should be banished from the NFL.

Lyons gets Gibson his 4th
we’re doing a better job of getting inside and getting good looks too, helps that Carroll is knocking down open jumpers.
And Leo hits BOTH free throws!
Are you sure?

There we go...nice play by Leo
got to go after Gibson and finally get him out of there for a good 7-10 minutes. Need to clamp down on the defensive end set some stuff up on offense

just because he leaned his arm over Carroll

And English’s legs are failing him.
