[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1361368, member: 7292"] Great win, fantastic first half, lackadaisical start in the second half. Trent was great, his lateral quickness differentiates him. Leron really fought hard and was under control, had one of the best games of is career. Frontcourt is still a problem, especially in the post. Leron tallied 37 mins and Finke 34... too much to expect for an entire B1G season, but BU needed to keep them in the game, limited options. Mark Smith had some great moments, but seems a lot more comfortable as a SG than a PG. Harris is talented, had a good second half, but was constantly mouthing, acted like a punk and deservingly got the technical. Tilmon has great hands, needs to improve his footwork and post game. Definitely not going pro (unless other reasons), he will be at Mizzou another 1-2 years. Jordan Barnett really kept them in the game, without him they can't even make a run in the second half. Michael Porter Jr. seemed like a nice kid, good demeanor, well spoken. Best of luck to him in his pro career, but he is not coming back. He did the right thing to fix his back for the long term and he seems focused on his future. We obviously need major help in the frontcourt but with the addition of Ayo, we are really nicely set at PG/SG positions for the future. [/QUOTE]
