He was mad at the end of the first half about something. French had his arm around him talking to him going into the locker room. Might of been mad about being yanked after his guy scored

Watched a replay. Last play you can't be to aggressive because you dont want to foul. Jacob's got knocked off balance on a back pick by Toppin. The kid made a big shot. The three minute stretch of made 3 pointers. First was made because for the first time all game Jordan wasn't able to fight through a screen. Two made by Toppins with Bell playing off him. One Bell and French both were guarding Toppin and left Landers open and one French didn't close out on Watson. Nothing to do with coaching. We played the 6th ranked team to the last shot. I think Dayton is better than Auburn.

Not clear on the rules but Mizzou has not started second semester yet.

We can't take a mid year transfer. No scholarship available

Anyone hear coach this morning on KMOX? I forgot to listen.

Ford said that they wanted to go inside to get more freethrows. It was a point of emphasis

Ford said Bell leads the team in points/rebounds per minute played and the coaches agreed he needs to play more minutes

Starting the season we had 3 players who had previously played significant minutes. One of those three is not playing and our best shooter is out for the year. 13-3 at this point is damn good no matter how we looked getting there. We will win one or two we should lose and lose one or two we should win. I think we are probably a top 60-70 team.

A couple of things to add. French and Goodwin said Jacobs is very talented. Ford said you can no longer be brutally honest with players and said when you criticize them they make excuses. He said that a couple of times. He was honest with Jacobs and he was very impressed that he offered no excuses.

East would not let Collins get the ball. The announcers commented on it.

Ford probably would have preferred the ball was in Perkins or Collins hands and UMass knew that.

Bell played well. I think when French started taking over there wasn't a place for Bell. He would have clogged up the middle.

I thought Jaobs was the difference in the game but oddly enough he had by far the worst plus/minus

Jacob's brother hasn't played in the last few games for DePaul. Anyone know if he is hurt.

They have a meeting the night before every game.

We lost last night because we allowed the Dukes to shoot 65% in the second half and gave up 45 points. Won't win many games doing that. The offense will come and go but the effort on defense must be more consistent. It's only one game. I have a feeling we will look much better on Sun.

Rammer said he thought it was closer to 8,000

According to Stu Thatch is not dressing tonight

I hope you are correct but I can't find where Stu said that

Wasn't discussed there. Wiz said he heard it in postgame news conference.

Just watch a replay of the game. Hargrove had a hell of a game. His defense was fine. He got beat a couple times but so did a lot of guys. His defense will not keep him off the floor. It will improve as he plays more. We have to remember this really was his first real game experience.

Bell actually seems to handle the ball pretty well. In a drill in warmups he went behind his back with both hands numerous times.

He did say it was day to day with Fred which made it sound a little more hopeful. It would be nice to have him back.

Jimerson really was -17 in the plus minus. It was not a good match up for him. They set plenty of picks for him. Auburn played him tough. I do agree the 1-3-1 has not been good this year

Jim Whitesell with the win
