29-11 with 11:15 left
and they’ve got 6 turnovers to our 0. Not too bad. Unfortunately, we’re shooting 1-6 from 3.
Anyone watching? Are they good shots, just not falling, or are we rushing down the court and trying un-needed 3s?

I remember a game in 98-99 when we played Wofford. I was just home from boot camp, and I got hooked up with what amounted to courtside seats. D section was pretty sparse, since it was during Xmas break, and the rest of the arena was pretty sparse too, since it was Wofford. The halftime score was 15-13 or something ridiculously low like that. They had a wheelchair game at halftime, and I swear they scored more points. We lost that game, but they announced 13,300 anyways.

I agree, but...
…that one was wide open. I’m okay with that kind of look. Overall, though, we’re killing them inside, so we need to make sure either Leo or DeMarre gets a look each possession…
One thing’s for certain, though…we SUCK at milking the clock. That was a horrible possession…lead could be cut to 11 after this and-one free throw..

…offensive rebound with :30 left, and he actually pulled it back out. It’s been about six years since I’ve seen a Mizzou team be smart about the clock.
Of course, we had about two good possessions over the last six minutes, but we were smart with the clock!

13-15 from the line. Nice
Now that we’re in the bonus, if we can keep hitting around an 80% clip, that will greatly improve our chances to hold on to this game.
I know that FTs caused us to loose the Xavier game, but since I don’t really follow the team that closely, has it really been that bad? Or, was that game just a fluke?

First things first
Tom O’Neill is an absolute disaster of a referee, it’s almost staggering how bad he is at his job.
Other than that, we were great today. I really liked English holding his own when trusted with more ball handling, and he showed good effort at the defensive end as well. Tiller had me convinced he was going up with a shot on about 4 different fast breaks, then made great passes on every one. It seems that at least one of Denmon, Paul, and English step up the scoring load off the bench each game, it’s really good to see all 3 getting more comfortable. I especially liked Denmon taking the ball to the hole, almost with reckless abandon, and getting to the line. And I really liked English getting hot and building confidence in his stroke from 3.
