I saw Mizzou play against Villanova at Madison Square Garden earlier this season. Their teamwork is impressive. They slid a bit when English was out of the game for a while that day. This time, he sat on the bench with three fouls in the first half and they hung in the game.

It's interesting that they participated in a pre-season team-building session with Navy Seals. They have a precision as a team that boosts them head-and-shoulders over their opponents.

Buy a ticket if they come to an arena near you. They are a heck of an entertaining team.

3. I thought it was an interesting matchup

A classic guard(Missouri) vs big man team(Baylor) match-up. I thought Missouri would have trouble with Laurence Bowers out as a 6-8 forward, they were very small but Ratliff had a great game.

I don't get to see many games except for the ones that are on CBS on Saturdays so I take in whatever I get from previews and recaps but it seems Missouri has excellent guards.

Slightly off-topic but I find it somewhat amusing that Baylor's best player is a III(like RG3), Perry Jones III

I likely won't be able to catch Missouri play live, the only college basketball arena near me is Arizona State and they are horrendous this year, held by Utah to 47 points yesterday.
