Pounding it inside is going to be tough (or tougher) if Mizzou doesn't shoot well enough from the perimeter to keep teams from packing it in. They didn't in this game, and Bucknell sagged inside all game.
Bowers is also the only guy who really is a consistent threat to score when you throw it in to him. Oriakhi is not a great back-to-basket scorer/option.
I think this team misses Criswell. His energy/skill/defense/rebounding were a really nice option off the bench. And his mobility would give Mizzou a much better matchup against the bigs it has seen in the past two games.
