Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 10:53:34 AMYou should probably take your own advice.

And I've not once heard anyone say momentum on the floor carries over 7-8 months later. That's ludicrous.


You should pay more attention.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 09:37:48 AMI will say calling him a "kid" is disrespectful.

College kids are college kids; it's a colloquial term. My kids are in their upper 30s and my wife and I - who respect them very much - still call them kids. Professional athletes call rookies "kids" all the time.

Of all the things we can find to complain about, calling college students "kids" should rank 75,330,335th. Or lower.

As for Gold, he looked great last night. The kid needs to do that more often!

Quote from: panda on Today at 11:06:53 AMStarting hot next year would be bucking the trend of the last year and a half. I would happily ignore the poor results if that happened because results are improving.

A January to march slide last season (mostly because of lack of depth/poor roster construction) leads to even worse performance (mostly because of poor roster construction) equals a trend.

It's only irrelevant if you want to ignore a large patterns of strongly related of events.


Correct.

It was nice to see Gold take it to the hoop effectively last night. That said, I really do not understand why MU has him make a bee line to the 3pt line when a guard switches to cover him. Over his four years at MU, the offense has turned him into the equivalent of a 6'1" below average 3 pt shooter.

Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on Today at 10:52:25 AMTime to get a legit banger and win the boards
Guards and skinny 4s ain't working

... you left out players that can make hook shots, easy layups, shoot 3s and FTs and play defense. Oh, and a coaching staff that knows the difference.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on Today at 10:32:29 AMRegardless of which school/coach is recruiting them most sought after players in this new landscape just want to know how much am I going to be paid. Fan Boards be damned.

How many "most sought after players" have you spoken to?

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:53:49 AMYeah there are a lot of people whining about meaningless things. Including the record of a team over a 12 month period, as if that matters at all.

Let's pretend we win 4 more total games this year. Somehow Shaka hits the portal hard, knocks it out of the park, Egbuonu and Sheek are immediate contributors, our non-con schedule isn't amazing next season, and we play DePaul and Providence to start BE play before New Years next year and we start 12-2 before 1/1/27. Do you really think people will really be referencing going .500 in the year 2026?

"Nice start to the season boys! But only .500 in 2026. Barely better than 2025. Not good enough."
Starting hot next year would be bucking the trend of the last year and a half. I would happily ignore the poor results if that happened because results are improving.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:43:03 AMThis is two years removed from Mizzou's 0-18 season. They went from 0-18 in the SEC to a Tourney team. Their recruits following that disaster of a season included one of the best transfers in the country from Duke and a top 30 recruit in the country. And if they're back to a dumpster fire, they just signed the #6 recruiting class in the country, including the #3 player. So apparently some good talent is willing to join dumpster fires at times for the right money.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 09:58:19 AMWho wanted to join the 0-18 Missouri team a couple years ago?

Thankfully a lot of high level athletes don't think like message board fans.

MU has some high level athletes. They need some athletes who are highly skilled players and who are built for the physicality of the BE.
