Study Hall: Mizzou 96, SIUE 58

They say not to look a gift horse in the mouth. So I’m going to avoid the mouth portion of this gift horse.

Mizzou won a non-conference game against SIUE by 38 points in a game where the projection was 26 points. Being plus 12 in the projected margin is always going to be a good thing. Scoring 1.47 points per possession is a good thing! Jason Crowe, Jr. setting a Mizzou record for most point points scored by a freshman in a game is also a good thing. Holding your opponent to just 0.89 points per possession… all good!

It just felt watching this game play out that the Tigers were not nearly as engaged as they were in their last home game. Maybe it was Mark Mitchell getting smacked in the face…
