I've only seen the last 5 minutes. Pressey was terrible. 3 TOs, 2 air balls and generally bad play.

Pressey got a little shot happy somewhat out of necessity but the first 30 minutes or so were pure magic.

A shooting foul for Mizzou? That's unpossible.

I guess Pressey finished three assists shy of the NCAA record.

Not calling a flagrant foul there at the end boggles the mind. I realize every team gets an advantage on their home floor, but that one was just ridiculous.

It was either a shooting foul or a flagrant, take your pick.

I feel like maybe I should start wearing an athletic cup for all future Mizzou games.

When Phil Pressey is on he is fantastic, but he plays out of control far too much. It feels like he's turned the ball over every time he's touched the ball today. Bowers is incredibly important to this team and hopefully he gets back soon.

I think it has to be tough for Flip because outside of Oriakhi and Bowers, there aren't many guys on the team I'd want Flip to pass to. Maybe Brown when he's feeling it.

To me, this team feels like an 8 seed in almost every way.

They don't have their best scorer. They're on the road. Florida is the best team in the SEC. But, man, this is embarrassing.

This team is about as tough as a marshmallow. They fold their tent when the game gets too hard for them. Pressey is out of control, he appears to be auditioning for the NBA. He might be better served to dial it down and play with his teammates. If he doesn't he has really wasted some great talent and I doubt he helps his draft stock with all the low percentage shooting and turnovers.

I don't know what is up with Oriakhi, but he isn't playing very much, less than half the game at times.

They do miss Bowers badly, but the others need to step it up even when he comes back. They don't appear to have over 3 division one starters at the present time, the rest are very poor imitations of basketball players.

Maybe Frank has been distracted by the NCAA probe, but where are his assistants? They do most of the grunt work in prepping for games, and this team hasn't appeared to be ready to play lately. Very puzzling group to say the least.
