Kdug Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 3 hours ago, BGleas said: Awesome clip! This is not meant as a shot at Woodson at all, but one thing i definitely miss about Crean is really confident offense and shooting. After the first three years, Crean teams were consistently very good on offense. Defense was always the issue. He honestly was similar to Fran McCaffery in that sense. Crean was just able to have 2013 where he was able to get a good defense to go with an elite offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 I may have missed it, but is there a Team Pic or wallpaper available for the '23-'24 team? Did a search, but came up empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if things gel together quickly we might be by the end of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled to see why three 5 star kids, XJ, and Galloway wouldn't get us in or at least close to preseason top 25, but we don't look it yet. I'm excited for each upcoming game with this group. I think we will see them get better and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I just hope we get a lot better by Nov. 19! I don't think we are close to ready to compete with UConn right now! I do love that we have 3 more games before that. We better win those 3! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I'm not one for keeping up with former players and didn't care much when it happened, but just saw Tamar Bates had 18 points on 7 of 9 shooting including 3 for 3 from 3 in his Missouri debut. Maybe this is in another thread? If so, sorry. I don't look at a lot of them! Too many too spread out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see him getting off to a good start. After sitting next to his family at a game I've always been rooting for him to do well.

Craft invented or perfected walking into or under a jump shooter in the lane while showing his hands 🙌 Hated him and back you down Sullinger But he had incredible lateral quickness Cupps can be a solid defender without half the quickness of the guys we mentioned Know your job/scouting report ✅ Play hard ✅ Communicate ✅ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
