MU/Mizzou game thread

[WhiteTrash]

One observation, Mizzu in not very good.

Apparently Shaka doesn't know how the game of basketball works. He keeps getting players who can't make baskets to save their lives.

This season is just going to be more of the same "Shaka ball" of fire up shots and hope they go in, combined with average defense. Not 20 losses again unless the wheels completely come off, but more of beating up bad teams and getting eaten alive by any team with a pulse.

Missouri was terrible, and Marquette managed to lose to them.

Can one of the optimists tell me who of Texas A&M, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Mississippi State MU might beat?

[Norm]

This is a poorly coached team. Fundamental mistakes, no feel for player substitutions, undisciplined on defense.

Never say never.

MU looking like a mediocre team. They can't shoot from 3 and they can't score inside. FT shooting continues to be a joke. Missouri has more talent, particularly considering Mitchell didn't play. Fru is a nice complementary player but provides no offense. Parham was lousy again on offense. D was better today but fell apart at the end. Early in the season but MU has not impressed against good teams.

None of them

But better than MU.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

And they were missing their best player

I'd be frantic shooting the ball too if I was in the middle of an offense that wasn't running sets and didn't have any legitimate strategy for breaking down a defense. We're still running the "set random screens" offense that only worked because Tyler Kolek and Kam Jones were masters at turning the corners around defenders.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

These guys kinda suck.

Also, turns out free throws do matter.

Just a reminder (too late), that most (all?) Peacock games are included on Youtube TV (NBCSN).

I don't have YoutubeTV

It's just astounding how some players who looked good late in the season last year now look like scared freshmen.

I guess the fact that the Big East is terrible made them look better than they are.

Bummer.

They're better than us. Better coached too.

I believe he is saying you should get YoutubeTV. All sports channels. Peacock on NBCSN and ESPN+. Unlimited library. Multiview

Not Virginia. I like home odds. Texas A&M. Not yet.

I'm expecting the Northern Illinois game to be a tough one like Valparaiso last year.
