IMO aTm is the most talented team in the SEC. They are about to be 0-4 in the conference.

Aren't two of their better players hurt?

I think tonight was first night they were full strength due to injuries and suspensions

I can't get over what a disappointment Puryear is. This lineup with KP-Van Leer-Phillips is death.

I thought Mizzou as a whole would be a lot stronger offensively in the paint, based on the first few games. Tilmon should be getting 10 a game just on dunks.

I don't think they have anyone to create shots for Tilmon. I'm so tired of Geist thinking he's Russell [expletive] Westbrook.

Much better about being aggressive in the second half. Hey, what if we played like that all the time?

Hogs are reeling. Mizzou might walk into BWA and get a W. Losing at home to LSU by 21 is inexplicable

That was the best game he's played in awhile. His defense got better, too.

Putting Timon and Porter on the floor together helps quite a bit, even more when the referees aren't looking to constantly call fouls. They're going to have to figure out how to get Porter more opportunities to feed Tilmon, Barnett and Robertson. His post-up game is still pretty weak against good teams.

What cannot happen ever again is Phillips, Geist and Robertson barreling into a stout defense trying to get points at the rim.
