In many games last year we were simply blown off the court, and in this instance that doesn't not appear to be the case. Which is a good sign given we are now younger and arguably less talented.

The Illini has a similar scrimmage with a D3 opponent over the weakend, and they outscored Illinois 31-11 during the last 10 minutes and lost only 82-75. That despite being held scoreless for a 9 minute period that allowed the Illini to build a nearly 30 point lead. I don't expect the Illini to be barely better than a D3 team, similarly I'm not sure its reasonable to expect Creighton to only be about 15 points better than us when games start counting. But it is a good sign that at least it was competitive and seems like not a huge mismatch.

          Agreed on that as well, but Creighton is better than - nerdmachine KC - 10/31 09:17:21
               I doubt that Creighton is better than every team but 2.(nm) - Uncle John MU - 10/31 10:18:50
                    the sec is pretty bad(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 10/31 10:24:28
                         The coaching is really bad, but year and year out the SEC - FIJItiger MU - 10/31 10:30:17
                              Kentucky carries most of that talent - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/31 10:42:33
                                   The SEC had 3 non-Kentucky first rounders last year. - tgr MU - 10/31 10:58:39
                                        And that is without MU adding any, which under normal - FIJItiger MU - 10/31 10:59:42
                                             Mizzou has had 4 first rounders over the last 20 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/31 11:14:20
                                                  Yes - FIJItiger MU - 10/31 11:20:18
                                                       So Mizzou under normal circumstances - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/31 11:28:47
                                                            From 1973 - 1992 MU had 9 in that 20 yr window - FIJItiger MU - 10/31 11:31:32
                                                                 So it's not really normal for Mizzou to have guys drafted - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/31 11:40:18
                                                                      But its normal to expect a program like MU to have 1st - FIJItiger MU - 10/31 11:47:04
                                                                           Even though it hasn't happened at Mizzou? - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/31 11:59:32
                                                                                Normal to expect, different than what has occurred. (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/31 12:01:23

                              You must not have looked at ACC rosters..... - Moball2play SWT - 10/31 10:40:08
                                   Think the SEC had most 1st round picks last 2 years - FIJItiger MU - 10/31 10:47:03
                                        Yes, because of Kentucky, they carry the conference nm - nerdmachine KC - 10/31 14:35:07
               that is true. they should be a good team(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 10/31 09:18:58
