Mizzou 63, Texas Tech 50: Kim English Scores 22, Leads Tigers To 19th Win

COLUMBIA, MO - JANUARY 28: Kim English #24 of the Missouri Tigers reacts after scoring as Clark Lammert #35 of the Texas Tech Red Raiders looks on during the game on January 28, 2012 at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri.  (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)

Texas Tech went out of their way to prevent Ricardo Ratliffe from getting the shots he typically gets, and Mizzou got some open jumpers as a result. Kim English made some early, but for the most part, they just continued to bounce off the rim. English went 4-for-6 from 3-point range, but the rest of the team went just 2-for-16. Marcus Denmon was dreadful from the field again, shooting 4-for-15 after a 4-for-16 performance in Stillwater, but his ability to get to the line, and Mizzou's ability to force turnover after turnover on defense (22 in all), gave the Tigers the cushion they needed. It wasn't the game Mizzou fans may have wanted, but Mizzou is 19-2 nonetheless. Now, it's time to find Marcus Denmon's sea legs in a hurry; Mizzou-Texas looms on Monday.

Winning on the road is still hard guys

KU managed to get 2 of their easiest trips out of the way right off the bat. They pulled it out in Austin, and doesn’t look like they will here. Next week is the decider for the rest of the season really. We can make it a tossup, or we can hand KU the league.

by Transmogrified Tiger on Jan 28, 2012 3:10 PM CST reply actions  

Is it just unheard of

to give a college kid a game off? I know we only run 7 deep but Denmon is playing the most minutes on the team and he just looks flat when he shoots his jumper. If he was gonna take a game to rest this would have been it.

by HateinmyHeart on Jan 28, 2012 3:10 PM CST reply actions  

If anything about this season has bothered me to this point

It’s the rotation. Or rather, the lack thereof.

Some people would say that college players are still young and that they should be able to handle the grind of the season, but I worry that the lack of depth is starting to catch up.

Ideally, the rotation shortens as you move into tournament play in March, but we’ve essentially been using a tournament length bench this whole year. I wish we had a bye

but

we have two — three with Jones, I believe — available beyond that. it’s not like they can’t play a couple minutes. get them to play some decent defense and not take any shots. what’s the harm in just 5-10 minutes a game.

by planb247 on Jan 28, 2012 4:01 PM CST up reply actions  

Exactly

I just think the top 7 need more of a blow. I’m not saying they need to play 10 guys 20 minutes each, but just give the top guys more of a blow. Especially on a guard driven team, those legs are going to be uber important in March.

Jones is big, Sutton isn't really a guard and who else?

I’m just not confident with them playing because it can take the team out of a rhythm and they don’t bring a whole lot to the table besides minutes and some gritty hustling spunk.

So Powermizzou is reporting that Denmon stated after today's game he's been sick.

Watching the game it might explain some of his lethargy. He looked motivated, but exhausted.

Can someone smarter and possibly more proficient with numbers than me

explain what’s going on with our defense? I know we’ve got size issues (hard to close passing lanes and impact mid-range and inside shots without length) and we’ve got seven guys. How do we compensate? Sag off the ball a little bit? More zone looks?

by kevinf on Jan 28, 2012 3:14 PM CST reply actions  

i guess we need to start using it better. the defense.

you know, now that I look at my post… size issues… seven guys… compensate… sag… balls…

Erm, nevermind. Question still stands.

Bob Davis

Big swing by Morneau, he’s really got a hold of it, high, back… caught by the SS.

Little flair.

To Bob Davis, every ball in play in baseball can be described in one of these two ways.

worst play by play announcer ever

Not really sure how he keeps a job. When you’re listening to him, you can hardly follow the score…. in baseball.

I Couldn't Agree More

I’m a huge Royals fan but absolutely HATE to listen to Bob Davis. And it has nothing to do with hisKU affialiation. I often joke that I’d rather listen to the Royals lose with Denny calling the game than listen to them win with Davis calling it. Of course, listening to them lose with Davis calling them is excruciating. It’s always like something great almost happened when rhats not the case at all or he’s saying like “if he can just put one over the fence or down the line here…”. Denny has to know he’s terrible. It’s like Denny has a baseball IQ of 150 and Bob has a baseball IQ of 80. Seriously.

I don't fight extra players.

Working on a 63 Dodge Powerwagon Townwagon 4×4 and a 66 Mercury Monterey Conv. I almost bought. ‘71 ’cuda out of Everett, Wa. when I was 17. Chose to live in Germany instead. Sometimes I wish I would’ve bought the car but glad I had the experience instead.

How many times have you seen a college basketball game where 1 team never took 1 timeout the whole dam game?

for me…. ZERO until today.

As long as my eyes were not deceiving me (& non hd tv) or bad stats from the big 12 network in game overlays or both…

MIZZOU did not take a single timeout today against TT….

I could be wrong but if I’m not that has to be the oddest occurrence and I wouldn’t consider it a good thing either.
