I really like how this team plays. Drives to the basket and doesn't settle for shitty jump shots or jack up 3 after 3.

Can Kentucky and Georgia stretch this game any longer?

Kicking the shit out of LSU bitches.

It'll be nice when Caleb Grill gets back to 100%. He's a big time scorer and it's nice to have multiple people on the team that can score boat loads of points.

Heard on ESPN that the current SEC conference might be the best basketball conference in history. Early returns proves this to be correct. Saw early bracketolgy that 13 SEC teams will make the tournament, Mizzou wasn’t one of them. Hope we don’t fire Gates before we need to.

It's kind of crazy how little respect this team has gotten. They're 12-3 with a win against a top 10 team and their losses came against teams currently ranked 2nd, 13th, and 19th.

With 11 newcomers gates is putting together a really good roster. I just hope it’s not too little against the rest of the SEC. We effectively beat the dog shit out of LSU. Tomorrow v Vanderbilt will I think give us a better picture.

Auburn was an embarrassment.
Illinois was a fair loss, we were in the game.
Should have beat Memphis but we didn’t. Fair play to them.
Beat Kansas.

We are a good team that will get better.

I think it's mostly preemptive voting.

I don't think Mizzou is as good as their resume right now (though I do think they're a solid team) and I think voters kinda expect them to struggle in conference play.

So rather move them up to just knock them down they just aren't moving them.

And yes, the SEC is brutal. Could well be historically great.

We really missed our window during the SECs down period. We took advantage of it by hiring Kermit ****ing Anderson and then settling for mediocrity in Cuonzo.

Mizzou had a real shot to establish themself near the top of this conference and just fiddle-****ed around until the football schools decided "hey, why ARENT we actually trying in basketball? We have more money than we can reasonably spend..."

To even be in the top half of the SEC this season might require one of the 15 best teams in the programs history. That's how god-awful brutal this conference is.

****in shit end of the half

Nice win, shot the three well for a change. I really like having Grill back

Never trailed, but it got a bit hairy for a while.

Solid win

Keep it rolling Gates!!! Every win in the SEC is a good win.

And he didn’t shoot well from 3 today.

I'd say this team is quite a bit better than Gates first year here. That team lived and died by the three. This team is much better at taking it to the basket, drawing fouls, and rebounding. This might be the best team Missouri team since they've entered the SEC. They should be ranked.
