Missouri 45 | Liberty 66

2nd Half

First Half Notes

• Flames start out with two early 3 pointers, Tigers are crashing the offensive glass but can not finish down low.
• Pack-line defense really bothering the Tigers, and the Flames do no respect the 3-ball.
• Turnovers, missed layups, and Liberty’s 3-point shooting defined the front half of the 1st.
• Kobe Brown breaks the drought after an offensive rebound. Tigers have started out 1/8 from the field.
• Now up to nine turnovers and 1/11 shooting, not going to win many games with those numbers. Bold take, I know.
• DaJuan Gordon just tried to commit an act of terrible violence on Liberty’s Isaih Warfield, but the poster dunk did not go through.
• Liberty’s Darius McGhee starting out hot, definitely does not bode well for Mizzou.
• 33-7 at the under four. Not much to say other than this team just can not shoot the basketball.
• Kobe Brown sparked the offense a bit, but even after an odd finish to the half with two 3-point shooters being fouled, the Tigers still seemed out of the game.

Second Half Notes

• Ronnie DeGray finally breaks the seal on the rim for the Tigers from 3-point range.
• Liberty big man Blake Preston has too much speed and skill for Jordan Wilmore to handle down low.
• Flames continue to control the pace of the game, extending their lead to 22.
• Mizzou mounted a small run of their own, but the Flames responded with five straight points to stave off the comeback.
• Boogie Coleman now has 3 offensive fouls.
• Tigers get the lead down to 15, but a Shiloh Robinson 3-pointer put the game on ice.
• Darius McGhee gets his 20th point of the game on a back-breaking three pointer.
