Force them into lower percentage shots they usually don't take. It worked brilliantly. Ben McCollum coached circles around Gates in that game.

If we shoot 13 midrange jumpers in a game, something is wrong.

did Gates ever defend his lack of offensive scheme? - rockquarryroad MU - 3/26 11:27:36

The scheme was pretty good most of the year however - Tiger Tim MU - 3/26 16:17:37

Mitchell posted up more than he usually does - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 16:20:28

RE: Mitchell posted up more than he usually does - jhawkkiller MU - 3/26 17:46:39

Mitchell is a junior - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 17:48:18

the practice part seems like a legit gripe to me.... - JohnGalt MU - 3/26 15:58:11

6 of last 9 games opponents scored 90+ - alstl MU - 3/26 12:09:35

i don't think we have any more games scheduled (nm) - phrejd STL - 3/26 12:48:58

Outstanding - you are one of the best - definitely top 10.(nm) - alstl MU - 3/26 13:08:38

I expected to give up 90 after it happened so often - rockquarryroad MU - 3/26 12:10:46

What is your problem with white guys?(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 3/26 13:53:53

Running double screens in the paint to get a guy open for - alstl MU - 3/26 12:17:38

what jumped out at me was the lack of adaptability - rockquarryroad MU - 3/26 12:38:11

Or maybe most of the players on the team - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:40:12

hats off to Drake for carefully studying film - rockquarryroad MU - 3/26 12:41:40

it was strange. bates can score in a multiple of ways - TigerA MU - 3/26 12:41:18

When General Pickett was asked why the Gettysburg charge - alstl MU - 3/26 13:04:28

He wasn’t near as aggressive late in the season - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:51:42

Mizzou went 1-13 on mid range jumpers - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:21:49

That wasn't MU's failure, it was Drake's gameplan - HissingPrigs77 MU - 3/26 12:34:33

I think it was more about Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:38:04

I don't know if we watched the same game. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 3/26 15:54:09

It seems that way when you miss almost every - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 16:00:44

Drake was getting open uncontested shots in the paint - alstl MU - 3/26 12:30:14

Mizzou’s defense was poo the last month - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:35:41

I was responding to your point about Missouri's mid range - alstl MU - 3/26 12:48:38

Yes you could give him credit for betting - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:55:44

Breakdown - alstl MU - 3/26 13:52:12

Yes the defense was poo the last month of the season - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 14:03:08

Just watch that first play - Mitchell left the paint - alstl MU - 3/26 16:57:57

Yes the defense was poo for the last month of the season - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 17:02:42

I suspect because they never run that stuff in practice - alstl MU - 3/26 17:04:45

Mizzou had a top 10 defense - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 17:06:53

Mississippi Valley State, Pacific, Long Island, Howard - alstl MU - 3/26 21:10:53

No the stretch where Mizzou was playing at a top 10 level - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 21:24:40

What I saw that contributed to this. - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/26 17:22:48

Agree with a lot of that. Pierce hit a wall and - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 17:24:57

Mizzou was top 5 in offensive efficiency. - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 3/26 11:34:22

It’s because of overwhelming talent - FIJItiger MU

- 3/26 12:07:47

truly an embarrassment of riches(nm) - TigerA MU - 3/26 12:18:13

BUT THEY DID BAD THAT ONE GAME (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 3/26 11:42:19

That is true. They saved their worst game - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 11:56:57

There seemed to be something where those guys - Mormad MU - 3/26 12:47:36

Agree. We wilted in the first minute. Ant missed those - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/26 13:13:33

Your on to something there - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:54:08

If we could turn teams over, we played free and easy - Mormad MU - 3/26 12:59:50

I think Bates skillset is more the model that - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 13:06:11

vs Drake they looked worse than bad - rockquarryroad MU - 3/26 11:41:43

the observation about the Drake performance is correct - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 3/26 11:57:32

this is a super hot take. thanks for brining it (nm) - phrejd STL - 3/26 11:44:37

❤️(nm) - rockquarryroad MU - 3/26 12:09:28

sometimes thing not like what thing is like - Columbian Gold MU - 3/26 11:44:17

WDWWD basketball style worked really well - Eggs MU - 3/26 11:40:37

Mizzou had a top 10 offense (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 11:31:38

That got completely shut down by Drake...(nm) - TheWildcat MU

- 3/26 11:32:36

agree. but kept thinking... If gray had any abilty to - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/26 11:54:14

MU fans have a misperception about Grey - FIJItiger MU

- 3/26 12:05:24

I doin't have a misconception. He can't do what I would - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/26 12:57:55

That said we got more than I expected. I look at - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/26 13:08:04

I think Marshall has some post moves - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 13:12:32

That South Carolina team went 26-8 - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/26 12:11:11

Good call, forgot that. However I will likely - FIJItiger MU
