re: Struggling against NC Central

How about sending a message that losing is unacceptable

Ohio St beat NC Central 69-63 a couple of weeks ago, it was 2 points at half and close the entire game. They actually shot over 40%.

Ohio St was 6-0 until losing tonight 63-61 at #6 Virginia, Ohio St led most of the game

NC Central might be a little better than people think. Who knows its early in season. NC Central coach even admitted that they were lucky that Mizzou couldn't shoot. We had open shots and just couldn't make shots

1 thing about college hoops. The difference between high-major, mid-major, & low-major teams is the interior players.
There's a bunch of really good guards at lower levels. Add Cole to Mizzou's roster and this teams ceiling would raise 4-5 games.

Smith and Nikko have potential to be quality P6 bigs. But with them as freshmen Mizzou's interior is more comparable to mid majors.

that's what's turn me against him. This has been true for three years now. His teams can't shoot. At some point it is no longer a coincidence or an excuse.

It's a retention problem. Players tend to shoot better as juniors and seniors. He doesn't keep guy around.


If guys like Wright, Gant, Isabel, & Allen really were problems KA should have just cleaned house after his first season.
