Hot three point shooting has us the lead.

It's clear what Mizzou's game plan on offense is. Their first option is working and working well.

I just don’t really know why Ben has such a role on this team? He is getting just killed under the basket every time. Tough to watch really

I do have to ask....

1)When Morez picks up two fouls in 7 minutes because it's what freshmen do, what's the response going to be? What if he's 3-10 from the foul line? He was bad at home, what will it be in this atmosphere?

2)Riley has been just about as bad as Ben. He also feasted on sub par competition. Ben shot the ball very well versus Bama and Arkansas. Riley stalls ths offense by picking up his dribble in the middle of the lane, 35 feet from the basket or goes baseline and throws up a circus shot which doesn't hit rim or he'll miss a bunny. He has his warts.

This assumption that the situation at that position gets cleaned up by shifting minutes is overstated and silly. Is it worth a try? It absolutely is. Can BU abandon what he sees every day? Absolutely not.

I understand that we don't like the outcome. The way that NW and TN wrapped up absolutely stunk. There's not one guy on the roster that hasn't been subject to debilitating and/or lazy plays.

The random, never have worn a uniform, couch potato "fans" of our program have been absolutely atrocious towards this kid after 10 games, not all of which were bad.

P.s....this is not directed at you. Just piggybacked your post.

Every Mizzou bucket has been on Humrichous, Morez provided great helped defense to prevent more.

Just doesn't have athleticism at this level, and he hasn't adapted to this.

His 1 on 1 defense is so soft. He needs to hard foul someone...his positioning isn't bad but he doesn't ever go for the ball or body then so they know it's there all day.

I find myself sitting here begging for him to pick up 2 quick ones …

Brad continuing to play him is absolutely ridiculous … Horrendous coaching … And he needs to be held accountable …

Let our 5 star freshman PLAY !!!!!!

Hate to pile on, but yall are already saying what I came here to post. Pretty obvious that the primary offensive strategy of miznoz is to go right at Humbrichois when he’s on the floor.

Unless booth develops or something, I don’t know what the solution is. Maybe Riley can at least offer some quickness there?

This is a hole on the roster right now.
