Mizzou game thread-1st half

[muskieman]

Larkin said Mizzou likes uptempo ball, and X needs to control their game because Mizzou is turning over teams at a rate of 22 TO's a game.

This will be a "sticky" until first half is over.

Listening to the pre game it looks like X is going to have to protect the ball. MU strengths are front court scoring and fast pace games with lots of TOs. I hope the trend that the team has shown in the first two games holds true here. Larkin made a point that this is the first game away from Cintas this year and the new guys might just have big eyes.

Larkin did say none of the players have been seen outside at the pool.

early quick fouls for X. Looks like the refs want to be the stars of the game. X is turning it over with 2 in the first 3 and half minutes.

X seems to be able to get rebounds but X has 4 fouls now.

[Mr. Neutral]

Seems like a continuation of what we've seen in the first 2 games: some nice plays, too many turnovers, a tendency to foul.

X down 7-5.

[Mr. Neutral]

12-8 Missouri.

Redford in.

[muskieman]

Frease had nice minutes but 2 fouls will mean he is out for awhile. McLean scores...X down by 2.

MM, thanks for the updates. I can't get the frappin' stream to work.

[muskieman]

Brown is doing a nice job with some nice drives and now picks up a foul on MU. X still down 2.

[Mr. Neutral]

Mizzou has 14 shots to our 9. The TO's are killing us.

Redford drains a 3! X leads 15-14.
