They may get hot for a game and shoot themselves to a victory, but their defensive shortcomings will stop them from making any kind of run.
The team is fatally flawed. I see them jumping out to a lead, then blowing it due to poor FT shooting and defensive breakdowns. Next year's team is going to blow.

All it takes is for Grill and Crews to get hot again with how well bates is playing and we can beat anyone. The problem is they’ve been shooting terribly the last few weeks. It’s the tourney so hope springs eternal and I’m excited to see how we look.

I don't let it upset me anymore, I accepted a long time ago that Mizzou will never win anything.

6 seed vs. Drake on Thursday. I know nothing about Drake, but I suppose we can lose (or win) against anybody.

Mizzou is ****ed. A well disciplined and coached team in the first round with a roster of Missouri players with a chip on their shoulder. McCollum will clown Gates in X and Os.

I'm not going to shit my pants about Drake.
Sure, they can win. They're in the tournament, which means they are a quality program. The MVC isn't what it was 10-15 years ago, but it's a quality league. I don't know much about Drake. I know Garrett Stirtz is good and their best player, and also that Anthony Richardson, Tony Perkins, and even T.O. Bennett are all big, physical guards who can match his length and be physical with him. If Mark Mitchell is healthy, I don't think Drake has someone who can really match his size/skill/playmaking/athletic ability, and I don't see a pair of stoppers on the wing to handle BOTH Bates and Grill. It's a matchup Mizzou can and should be able to win. Xs and Os are great and all, but Jimmies and Joes win games.

****ing hell man, you're just way out on a limb there. They're not a perfect team? They have weaknesses? Well shit - fold up the program. Have fun patting yourself on the back when it all comes to an end. I'm sure there's something way better just around the corner.

I'm really excited about how the bracket is laid out for us! We will kick the shit out of Drake.
Too many ****ing whiners in here. |

Expected they may actually make a deep run after all the promise they showed in the Alabama game. Unfortunately that team is absolutely nowhere to be seen these days. Now I'll be shocked if they make it past Saturday.
