To be up 9 with Butler and Oweh having to sit a lot of the 1st half with 2 fouls is huge.
Can we hold it ?

Shhhh. We are hacking and holding ourselves this game. And it works. So let’s enjoy it this game instead of complaining about it. We can play standard defense in the tournament
It really was. Not to overstate it, but that's the kind of shot that wins games. If he misses that, we're only up 6 and Mizzou has momentum going into half. Now, they're a little deflated going to the locker room which can translate to the 2nd half.
Oweh two point, Garrison terrible, no AA, still up 9. Love Brea taking shots, he has to shoot.
Second half is gonna be a dog fight. Keep being the aggressor and making threes!
He has better physical tools than both the other freshman.
It's taken him almost the entire regular season to not be terrified with the ball.
the Mitchell kid hitting shots he doesn’t hit is the only reason this isn’t a 15 pt game
Hell yeah!! Missouri’s going to go on a run in the second half. Need to weather the storm, maybe counter that with another run of our own. Would like to get this up to like a 15-16 point lead
How about that defense! Outside of a few boneheaded plays we played really well after we settled down from the first few minutes of nothing.
You are right and I think that will happen. At least half of the SEC teams will be gone after the first weekend because of it too.
I know. We couldn’t have played a worse 12-13 minutes to start the game. Then turned on the fawcett.
It’s fun to look back on but it’s maddening in real time.
All three frosh had a first half three. That’s what we need from them. Nine points. That’s big.
Looked good at a place Mizzou has gone 18-1 this year. Pope gotta be ready, Gates is a good coach and I feel like they are gonna keep going inside with Mitchell and try to get Williams out. And at some point they gonna start kicking it out if we collapse inside for open looks.
Man I just really want them. This would make up for that blown given opportunity at Texas.

Middle commentator for ESPN reminds me of this guy:
Chandler isn’t going anywhere. The Mormon religion is pretty male dominate and his GF will not have much say on where he is playing next year
Good point. I’m ready for the 2nd half Oweh, but not if it kills ball movement. We can get open threes against this team and need to keep hitting them.
I guess that is why Pope makes the big bucks and I’m at home in my recliner.
My heart and pacemaker would appreciate this.
Yep but I love the gameplan of baiting him into shots. Mark Pope, I love you man!!!
Looks to me that defense has stepped up
The fouls we’ve been called for..for the most part..we have committed. We’re definitely more aggressive
Officiating is uneven of course, but it feels more typical of home team calls than really blatant stuff
We’re passing better, does help that the three ball is falling lol
Some boneheaded mistakes but overall I thought we played very well

Grill hasn’t got going, that’s hurting their offense, Chandler is doing a good job when he’s on him. We need to keep playing good defense and attack them just like we did in the first half.
Would Pope be willing to experiment and go with the guys who got us this lead, to start the second half?
Idk, we looked good taking the ball to the bucket. Missouri couldn’t stop us.
You do understand you can make adjustments, but you have players with less skill playing for the injured guys.
Daily reffing reminds me of a guy I played street ball against. If he scored no problem, every miss was a foul and his ball.
Gotta keep him away from the basket. He did hit one 3 but we give him that shot all day.
Yep, he sure loves using those hand signals for sure lol
They got him outI guess that is why Pope makes the big bucks and I’m at home in my recliner.
Yep, and we have four players with two fouls. They have one.
My point is that the refs won't protect them against teams like UK in the big dance. Some of these teams are going to get a bad wakeup call.
besides, he’s not getting any so might as well stay in Lexington.
We held to under 30, it’s working. Positive thoughts my bro, positive thoughts
Outscored Missouri 34-18 in the final 12 mins of the half
Trailed 11-4 and now lead 38-29

Hate to say it but we looked so much better and like this offense is supposed to with Oweh on the bench.
Butler can't buy a shot from 1 foot or 20 since he came back.
I almost like 2 of the 3 frosh with Carr, Williams and Brea the rest the way.
