Gates with the #1 Freshman class doesn't look good.

Completely non-competitive against your two biggest rivals AGAIN. This program is trash.

I don’t think evaluation is the problem - DRFs ridiculous contract and buyout for this sociology/psychology instructor is the turd in the punch bowl. 20 million buyout for this hand-holder

PS: Can MU just be as good as Vandy in FB and MBB? Is that to much!?
My hope is we start out conference play going 1 - 4 but finally get healthy and gets better as the season goes on.
Maybe sneak into Tourney.

I know weed is legal in Mo, but maybe take the night off. This team couldn’t make the tournament with the Knicks lineup if Gates was coaching them. You can struggle to score, but play tough defense and rebound the ball. We do none of these things.

Mizzou is embarrassing themselves, outclassed by Illinois in every aspect of the game including coaching. Mitchell may be the most overrated player in the country, Boating and Mack should be playing for a mid major, Phillips is inept against players of equal size. etc. Mizzou fans are stuck in a perennial loop of well, maybe next year or the next, ad infinitum, not even able to keep their 'best' players on the court. Gates isn't developing anything here except mediocrity. His biggest skill seems to be recruiting 'highly rated' players we never see on the court.

Well, I can dream and not face reality. Reality bites.

This is Kim Anderson like basketball, and we know how that turned out. Gates is way over his head.

DRF left a long and lasting sheet stain at MU. And then MU didn't have the nerve to enforce her contract! Go woke, go broke.

Among other shortcomings this team has a very low basketball IQ and I don't see Gates being able to coach them up. I thought that going into this year that they were a borderline tournament team unfortunately that tournament will probably be the nit.

Poor defensively and absolutely no idea on offense without Mitchell.

Gates got little if anything from the portal.

Stone can help but the rest not much.

Tonight is a complete disaster.

Might want to start booking flights to the Balkans coach.

We just are not a good team. Harsh reality is we played no one and when we do, we poop the bed. Boateng needs more development and can get that at a smaller D1 school. He should transfer to Little Rock. Crews disappears in big games. When he became a leader scorer for us, I knew right then that we were not good. Gates runs lineups that have no business being on the court. We just don’t look good. Hopefully, we can get our act together and come out and do something in SEC play.

Good question.

Why are Missouri freshmen never any good? Look at the Wagler kid for Illinois. Other programs get highly recruited freshmen who step right in. Makes me wonder whether anyone in the incoming top class will actually be that good or will fulfill their potential due to bad coaching.
