First time all season we have looked composed on offense.

Not pushing into mistakes. Just making the right play. If you're open, shoot it. If you're not, pass it. If they give you a lane, drive it.

Making. The. Right. Play!

Zaide is so weak attacking the basket.  He doesn't know how or want to draw contact. I like his ability, but a major concern of his game.  And he's had two blocked now as a result.

Zaide will be a much more effective player if he learns to absorb contact at the rim and draw fouls.

Owens and Hamilton being total 0's killed the season but there is so much else to be excited about. Thankfully Owens was accounted for in the roster construction by guys like Stevens and Phillips being able to step in.

We somehow had no backup plan for Caedin Hamilton.

Very inspiring start all else considered.

Like how the announcers kept on touting MU making threes, yet Oklahoma is right with them with 6 on 43% and MU with 7 on 44%. Oklahoma's been wide open because Shaka doubling teaming again and player kicks it back out to wide open player. 

Difference is Oklahoma blocking 7 shots inside and Hamilton, Parham and Lowery missing a bunch of shorties.
