This was ugly. Two good things I saw in this game...(1) Mizzou controlled the game from the start and (2) the whole team passed the ball pretty well. The defense was okay, but A&M helped by missing an awful lot of open shots. I thought Pressey, Bell and Brown did a great job defending the perimeter, especially when they were playing man-to-man. I thought the zone was spotty as A&M got some pretty good looks but luckily missed a number of easy ones.
A couple of other things were confirmed in this game: (1) Ross can help this team and he can hurt this team. He did both in this particular game. He's just so fundamentally flawed that if he just took a more cerebral approach to the game he could be great. (2) Bell is nowhere near as good at running the offense as Pressey. The TigerBoard has this irrational hatred of Pressey that usually results in lots of "Let Bell run the point!" Yeah, good luck with that.
Good: Oriakhi, Pressey, Brown and Criswell.
Okay: Bowers.
Bad: Everyone else.
