Haith: "We’re not a great listening team right now...guys tend to do their own thing when the games get tight or when there’s adversity."

More Haith: “It’s all about trust. You’re taking quick shots, you’re not executing what we want you to execute...just run the offense."

Think Haith is singling out Pressey?

That's Haith (maybe unknowingly) throwing himself under the bus.

I'm convinced that this school will never win anything especially now with the SEC move. Face it Mizzou just has bad mojo. No matter how good they're doing, no matter who the players are, no matter who the coach is one thing remains, they always fail in the end. Iowa State and K-State have a better history for crying out loud. facepalm

:clap:

At least someone finally sees it.

That's the million dollar question...

I have no words to describe last night. I spent about 40 minutes of the game on hold with Time Warner trying to figure out why my internet was down... again.

Turns out the modem is jacked (again) and those bastards are going to have to set up my FIFTH modem (in four years of service). They initially tried to tell me they couldn't get anyone out until next Tuesday.

So, yeah, just a thrilling night all the way around.

Pressey is a double-edged sword. This team needs him to play great to win, because of the lack of depth at PG. But he also has a tendency to choke in key spots (the at-his-ankles bounce pass/turnover and ensuing 4-point playing being a great example). He also is an atrocious and uninterested defender.

I think they missed the energy and defense Bell has been bringing of late, as well as his ability to get his own shot. At some point, this team will play another game with everyone healthy, right?

Maybe, but I doubt it will matter. The whole team is lackadaisical. They make Quin's teams seem like a pack of wild dogs fighting over the mailman's ass.

Aside from the Illinois and UCLA games, I haven't seen this team put two interested halves of basketball together.

It's a really easy team to hate. They play like a bunch of douchebags trying to pull ass at a Gus Macker tournament.

It's not bad mojo.

They just have not had elite coaching. Got to have elite coaching at that level to win consistently.

They put emphasis on recruiting. They get talent. But then it's just streetball.

Oh, you're right. It probably won't matter. I won't say the whole team is lackadaisical, though. Bowers, Criswell, Rosburg and Ross at least seem to play hard the whole time, and I think Brown does, too.

Pressey is definitely lackadaisical. Oriakhi can't handle getting a ticky-tack foul called on him on the road without losing his sh*t.

Those guys are the two biggest advantages Missouri has, when they are playing well. And they haven't been doing that on the road.

What a bunch of choking, losing, road pussies.

That is all.

Perhaps I should have added "and/or unfocused" because that would help fully encapsulate this team and its penchant for running a seven-seconds-or-less college offense, never fighting over the top of screens, forgetting to help, switching late, and over-rotating.

Its pretty telling that Miami is doing so well now that Haith is gone. lol

See if they can play together today. They usually do at home

Mizzou up 18-15 at the 10 minute mark
