MBB Game Thread: Tigers vs Ole Miss

Mizzou got the best of Ole Miss in the regular season beating them in Columbia and Oxford, but beating a team three times in a season is always hard. Will the Tigers extend their season, or will a disappointing season come to an end?

Second Half Notes

• Pickett is back, and that’s much needed.
• Kobe Brown is a MAN. What a play on that and-one.
• As a team Mizzou is 2-6 from the line. They’re going to need to step it up.
• Coming out of half, Mizzou has made sure they’re the aggressor in this one.
• DaJuan got UPPP on a putback dunk.
• Kobe has been so efficient today. He’s not scoring every possession, but when he does, he’s finishing almost every time and many times through contact.
• I don’t know if it’s the delay on the sound on the TV, but I feel like a lot of the whistles in this game have been pretty late.
• Mizzou has done a great job this half of making sure Ole Miss doesn’t get too close on a comeback bid. It feels like Ole Miss has never been closer than 9 this half.
• Three blocks tonight for Brazile. I can’t wait to see what this kid turns into next year.

First Half Notes

• Off the jump this one looks like it’s going to be a good game with both teams trying to extend their game.
• Mizzou looks very aggressive attacking the rim, and that’s exactly what you want to see.
• Every time Trevon Brazile blocks a ball, it’s cool. He’s never had a boring block in his life, they’re all so violent.
• Ronnie DeGray is shooting the lights out with 3 threes already in this one.
• Ronnie DeGray has 11 points in 10 minutes!
• Matt Murrell just baptized a man.
• With two fouls on Kobe, the Tigers just need to make sure they hang around until they can get him back out there.
• There’s 4 minutes left in the first half, and Ronnie DeGray has half of Missouri’s points. It’s safe to say no one saw this coming.
• It looks like Javon will be ok, but the thought of losing him is scary.
• Boogie’s threes never even having a chance to go in is way too common.
