No time to mope with Mizzou coming

I would say there is a chance to Tyler Griffey to get some more playing time after Mike Davis' one-rebound game against UIC. "(Griffey) has practiced better the last week or so," Weber said. "He just doesn't always play strong and that's one thing we have told him."

True, but it would be difficult to characterize Davis' play against UIC as strong, either.

I'm sure Davis will start, but even Weber agreed that players who have been starting have probably become too comfortable believing their jobs are secure, that there is no competition internally. Maybe Davis needs to understand that's not the case.
