"Quick aside on his defense: Walton gets a steal on 6.69 percent of his defensive possessions, the sixth-best mark in the country according to KenPom.com."
Other than the Xavier game KJ has been really good defensively.
"Puryear hasn’t jumped off the page this year, quietly averaging 12.6 points per game. He hasn’t been the best player in any of the Tigers’ five games, but he’s been one of the most consistent."
Pretty much expect more of this the next 2.5 years.
"There was a general lack of urgency from Missouri. It’s more than a pattern now. It’s a habit, and it needs to be fixed if the Tigers want to have success against better teams than Alabama A&M, Tulane and Northwestern State."
Third season in a row, definitely a major issue that's coaching.
