7 days to Missouri Western ... and 0 to the Black & Gold Game
PowerMizzou: Hoops Season Outlook
If everything goes as we predict, Missouri sits at 10-and-13 with the toss-up games remaining. Here are those games: Wofford, one in Kansas City (either K-State or Northwestern), NC State, at South Carolina, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, at Alabama, Texas A&M.
That gives Mizzou eight toss-up games prior to the SEC Tournament. Normally, you would anticipate a team going about .500 in toss-up games. If that holds, it would put the Tigers at 14-and-17 heading to Nashville.
The Trib (Steve Walentik): No secret: Tigers needed experience of playing Division I competition
Kim Anderson already got a chance to watch them compete against another team away from public view last Saturday, reportedly against Creighton ... and with a lopsided final score, according to Creighton Rivals.com site BluejayBanter.com. [...]
Phillips is one of four freshmen, along with two junior college transfers, among the Tigers' 12 scholarship players, and the scrimmage represented the first time for all of them to face Division I competition. That fact wasn't lost on Anderson as he considered how they performed in a matchup with a team that went 14-19 last season and has been picked to finish ninth in Big East Conference preseason coaches' poll.
"The thing when we started the game Saturday is that I looked at my staff after about three possessions, and I said, ‘We’ve got to play harder. We have to play harder,’ " he said.

Post-Dispatch: Undersized Tigers have remodeled front line
The frontcourt added two imports in 6-10 junior college transfer Russell Woods and 6-7 high school forward Kevin Puryear. Both are expected to play prominent roles from the season’s opening tip.
The Tigers also return 6-10 Ryan Rosburg, the team’s only senior, plus sophomores Jakeenan Gant (6-8) and D’Angelo Allen (6-7). Like Puryear, Gant and Allen are skilled enough to see time at small forward, but with MU’s shallow pool of big men, they’ll be needed inside, too.
