It seems like the kind of thing Self would show up for with 8 intramural champion "walk-ons", and not give a gently caress. I wouldn't allow any players that mattered to the regular season even touch the court given the background of the rivalry.

Eh, it's not like Jason Sutherland is going to come back and start running people over. There shouldn't be appreciably more chance of injury than there is in any inter-sqaud scrimmage. Like, I agree it doesn't 'matter' in any way but if Self makes a mockery of things at an exhibition game, one he specifically set up for hurricane relief because he knows everyone in the world other than himself wants to see for real, he'll be a pretty big jackass. Well a bigger jackass than he currently is.

It's less than a half of a charity basketball game and it is meaningless as far as actually counting for anything (other than hurricane relief), but Missouri looks something like an actual NCAA D1 basketball team. I'll take it.

Game's getting away from them now but other than the obvious talent gap...er, gulf. Canyon, chasm, whatever between this year and last year for Missouri the most striking thing is how loving long this team is compared to last. I think they've had as many offensive rebounds as they had in conference play last year. I exaggerate, but probably less than you'd think.

Mizzou has some talent, is going to be a runner-up in the SEC in a couple years. Azubuike is so good, so glad he's back. I hope the rebounding problems were an exhibition thing, probably were.

gvibes posted:Meanwhile: I think Iowa is more like 5 or 6 if everyone (especially Bohannon, because ugh our guard depth) stays healthy. Jok is a big loss but they actually played well last year without him most of the time and literally everyone else is back. Cook was a monster down the stretch last year and we'll actually have a real center this season with Garza. I think this also probably understates just how bad OSU and Nebraska are going to be.

Kenpom has ISU as 34th, and I think that's a way too high. ISU has four new starters this year, they are probably an NIT team this year. Edit: All of the Big 12 is in the top 50, it's going to be a rough year.

Other random thoughts on Missouri from a meaningless exhibition game. I thought Jeremiah Tilmon did some really great things when he was on the floor. He is also apparently going to foul out of every game sometime in the first half this year, in a charity game where the refs weren't exactly calling everything he managed to pick up 7 fouls (special rule for the game) in 13 minutes. I mean Jesus Christ. The Porters did a lot of shooting, and it wasn't particularly great--a combined 10-32 from the floor. They did manage to fill up the stat sheet in other ways, a ton of boards and some assists/steals/blocks. Of course they might foul out a lot too, 4 fouls for each in 23 & 21 minutes of play. The most frustrating thing I saw was when KU went on that run Missouri had no plan other than MPJr playing hero ball, which I expect to see in real games and get pissed off about. Well it'll be awesome if it works, but even though he's great most of the time it probably won't. Jordan Barnett is probably Missouri's best returning player and if yesterday was any indication he's going to enjoy not being the guy. He won't go 5-7 from 3 very often but he's going to be so much better as a complementary piece than trying to create on his own. For the first time since the beginning of 2012 (well 2013 probably) I'm actually excited to watch this team play.

I think NC State will be a little better than their Kenpom but probably not enough to add any extra ACC wins. Thankful for Pitt bottoming out, at least. UVA could very well finish first in the ACC again before doing their usual tank in the tournaments. Kyle Guy should be pretty consistently good, and they're hoping Mamadi Diakite has a breakout season too. They might even lift the tempo once in a while...

He's from South Carolina. So I guess USC and Clemson fans think it's a race between them. I mean it's like they aren't even competing against KU, UK, UNC and Duke. All of which are also recruiting Zion.

Wichita State gone, so Missouri State is ranked 1st in the preseason MVC poll. 1 Mo State 2 UNI 3 Loyola 4 Ill State 5 SIU 6 Valpo 7 BU 8 Ind State 9 Evansville 10 Drake The Bradley Braves return every single player from last years rotation and finished 2 games out of 3rd. Coach Wardle is in year 3 of this rebuild, so this year and next should look pretty good. Some of these guys are 3 year starters already. Bradley may not win this conference, but playing on the weekend in St. Louis, and a postseason tournament looks likely. Going to be a good year for this lovely little Mid-Major.

MourningView posted:Nah, he's definitely scared of WSU I mean I'll give him this much credit. He was refusing to play Wichita State long before they mattered. In Self's perfect world KU is the only program in the region that matters. If KU somehow got into the Big 10 and K State didn't he'd drop them like a hot rock too. If he could get into the Big 10 on some weird clause that KU never had to play Nebraska of all unimportant teams he would go for it. It's an understandable but cutthroat approach.
