Playing like we're missing a key man in the guard court. Have to find a way to limit the turnovers and hope that Missouri doesn't keep it stuck on automatic from 3. Lead isn't insurmountable. We just need to buckle down and execute.

Jones isn’t great. We all agree. He’s got a role on the team. He plays his role.
It would be nice if King could give minutes at the 5. It would also be nice if Ward could be physical enough to defend the 5.
This is exactly why I've been so worried about Grill being hurt. This team isn't going anywhere unless he's healthy.
Bad on both ends of the court. Need to cut down on turnovers and not let them push us way out on offense. And if we continue to give up wide open looks on the defensive in, we’ll get run out of the building.
only listening, not watching....but we seem completely shell-shocked today. unless the Mizzou defense has blown their load, hard to see how we have a full comeback.
Relax. Typical half for ISU. Mizzou hit every shot they hoisted.
Not going to blame this on the refs as we have struggled against ball pressure, but one could call a foul on many of those "swipes" MU is making. Really handsy.
I’m chalking this up a 10+ point loss at this point and I’m fine with it.
Without Grill and Jaz our defense is just really struggling. They’re on pace to hit 84 and our offense isn’t good enough without those two to match their pace.

Not quite the worst we could play, but damn near it. Even without Grill we should have better movement on O. Watson and King need to moving a bit more and not asked to handle the ball for more than a quick pass in the weave outside of 10'.
I don’t get all the this game doesnt matter talk.
We need the conference to keep a reputation and last I checked a road win against a good team only helps seeding.

Not meaningless, but it’s our least important game of 2023 (first half of the year).
