Mizzou Hoops: Still Perfect!

You now what’s nice? Winning. You know what’s even better. Never losing.

So far, both Mizzou men and women are firmly in the latter category. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m anticipating them both never losing again. So let’s enjoy these third wins of the season... we’ll barely remember them when both teams have won the Natty in March.

• The Kansas City Star wrote that the opening week scramble doesn’t seem to be affecting Dennis Gates’ Tigers. On the contrary, it appears to be building their confidence and cohesion.
• Calum McAndrew at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch highlighted how Isiaih Mosley’s creativity and vision were on display in Mizzou’s win over Lindenwood, even if his scoring prowess still seems to be on the back-burner.
• Ben Sternberg, in his Mizzou debut, executed the ultimate “bad beat” for those who took Lindenwood against the spread. Sorry, folks.

• Chris Kwiecinski wrote about Mizzou’s turnover-happy night against SEMO and how Pingeton reacted to a performance where everyone was “going through the motions.”
• Dennis is keeping things in-house for this week’s #SituationSunday. Good on you, mate.

• Jarrett Sutton is buzzing (when is he not?) about Dennis Gates after Mizzou’s 3-0 start.
