Mizzou has finally started to play. A lot of things have happened but what we have now is a solid rotation with less bodies. KYoung and Kroenke get some minutes but essentially it's McKinney, Gardner, Paulding, Bryant, Johnson and Conley. That's not too shabby. This team would even be better come tournament time if they had Kleiza - Young does nothing offensively - but honestly, Kleiza was a guy that looked to shoot every time he touched the ball, and that's not what this team needs.
I am encouraged by their play of late. A win at KSU - that has to happen. At Texas Tech sounded formidable a while back but Tech is playing terrible right now - just managed only 44 at Nebraska tonight. Then KU - and they have been exposed as not that good and not that deep, and that that game is at Hearnes on senior night and in the final game of that arena.
I think this team has finally learned how to play without a true point guard. They have figured out how to help each other out - you rarely see the 5-second calls that plagued them earlier in the season. Meanwhile, I was so impressed tonight at their efforts to get the ball down low against a team that while good was overmatched size-wise.
Things are looking up. Yes, with the result so far one would think 3-0 is too much to ask for. But I don't think this is the team any more that lost 10 games. I think this is the team that was ranked top 5 preseason.
I expect 3-0.
Thoughts?
