Post game, postmort...

What's your opinion of how the game finished?

The way they finished the game looked to me like y'all weren't the only ones going Jumbo at halftime.

I'm back. It was an awesome game. Really didnt want it to end.

Shabazz is gonna be a star in the NBA.

So is Pressey, once he figures everything out.

The refs were bullshite. I heard Pressey hit the floor all the way up in my seat. Should have been a flagrant.

#24 for UCLA, Can't remember his name, lit it up. You know Shabazz is gonna get his, but letting this guy lit us up made no sense.

AO let the refs get in his head early.

We lost, but I felt like it was a learning experience. When this team figures it all out, they will be a tough out in March. UCLA has some big time players, and MU outplayed their talent for much of the game.

Finally, the UCLA cheerleaders and dancers...

It's the morning after and I still can't believe we just handed them that game.

And just when should we expect even the slightest sign of him 'figuring it out'?

I'm tired of people making excuses for him. When he was a freshman everyone said just give him some time.. two years later and he may in fact be making worse decisions than he did as a freshman. People that don't want to criticize him are in denial.

MO, you are a bit too negative, IMO.

This team has its positives and negatives.

First off, I mostly agree with your assessment of Pressey. He can literally dominate the game, but shoots himself and his team in the foot in nearly every close game. He needs to play solid basketball at the end. That's what winners do.

Your post on Jabari Brown is libelous. Not sure where you are going with that. I've enjoyed watching him play. He has made some mistakes, but overall I think he is a good player that makes Mizzou better.

Webster Chan is just a freshman that looks like he is too afraid to make mistakes and thus is not a difference maker. Perhaps Phil and WC could learn something from each other. He's just a freshman though, so it's difficult to tell what type of player he will be in a year or two.

I love the talent of the team, but think that a lack of real leadership could be their downfall. Everyone is thinking conference will be easy. It will be entertaining, but not easy in the slightest.

It's not that think this team isn't good, still final 4 potential..it's just a team that I don't really like.

Oriakhi pouted all game, I hate that stuff. He looks 35 and has won a national championship, he should be the last one pouting over bad calls. I also hate guys that spit on people, I don't know for sure, but that seems to be the rumor.

I don't know why people keep telling me Pressey has skill. That is obvious. He is great, but he hasn't matured one bit since his freshman year... it's just about January of his junior year, at what point does it become a concern that he isn't maturing?

Brown is a player, didn't say he wasn't, and I've enjoyed his play. Just said I think he's too fried up, too much of a burnout and he won't have that internal fire to be there when it matters. Hope he proves me wrong.

Webster Chan is not good, not now or ever. I'm afraid he isn't a very good athlete. Again, hope he proves me wrong.. but not seeing it.

I do really like Bowers and Ross, I think they're good people and great players. And Bell is too, even though he screwed that up bd last night.

May have overreacted, but I'm just so disappointed in Flip, and think people slobber over him way too much. And I really don't like Oriakhi at all. I remember that scuffle against Illinois, he's the biggest guy on the court, and he was taking steps backwards while that was heating up, while everyone else was rushing into it. Then he pouts all game last night, and spits on a guy. Not my kinda guy.
