While Wofford on offense was pretty good, lotta dumb shots but spread the floor like crazy and moved the ball around, on defense it was really confusing why they were giving North Carolina such fits.

 

Anyway makes me feel even better about a Mizzou win over Stephen F Austin where they played an incredible game we were able to eek out despite not playing that well.

 

Missouri has a big weakness with ball handling, and they've had to play the top 3 teams in terms of forcing turnovers (WVU-L, St. Johns-W, SFA-W), going 2-1 and frankly should have beaten WVU. After Illinois, they get to ease up on that with the exception of Arkansas.

OU just destroyed Northwestern...Young is like a combination of Curry’s release with a bit of Nash and Lillard to his game. Should be an even better defender.

 

Kruger is definitely headed for the Hall of Fame. One of the most underrated coaches the last 20-30 years.

 

Pretty crazy to have the Heisman winner and POY for bb the same year.

Buddy Hield, Wayman Tisdale and Hollis Price probably the best three OU players since the 80’s.

You mean besides Blake Griffin (Bradford also won Heisman that year)

I'm excited to watch Trae and Wigginton go head to head this year. Iowa State might be a top 60 team and go 4-14 in the Big 12 this year.

I like Missouri's strategy of picking up the dribble every possession 40 feet from the basket. More teams should try this.

To Illinois' credit they came out playing super hard on D. Coupled with the refs not calling much early, they got away with a little and Mizzou panicked. Awful reaction to an eager team.

Illinois always gets up for this game. What is definitely a bad team is playing what is definitely the best game they will play all year. Ahh well

 

Don't you worry, it will be close at the end. And this year Illinois has pissed away close games better than anyone.
