Missouri State Preview and Game Thread -- 02/22/2020

Not only from 3 are we less successful than we were last year but no one gets to the rim and finishes like Marquis Townes did....Kennedy gets there and is getting better but still is not a classic physical finisher like Townes. and Hall can get there as well but gets blocked a lot as he does not quite have the hops. We have been poor from the git go from 3 with one or two exceptions..what were we 1/18 in the scrimmage? and now you have got to add tired legs.....The Valley season is brutal. And still do not know what to make of Pipkins....Would have hoped that he would be the Marquis Townes player....strong enough to get to and finish at the rim, not a bad mid-range jumper, 3pt shot ??? Hard to say what has happened with him but I am guessing it is way less than expected. Defense and offensive points off of our defense . but believe it or not we are 4th in the Valley in 3pt %. there are two statistics in which we are last in the Conference that are significant, rebounds and free throws.....rebounds really surprised me.

...11-22 from three overall in conference (swella, that's 50%).

Math insults are lost on me.

Tank, do you live near Missouri State?

I live in Kansas City. Made the drive to the game since it's the closest they come to me every year.
