Defensive intensity

Our defensive was the big killer tonight in my opinion from early in the game.
Too many easy looks.
I don't think it's unusual to have these lulls during a season, and I'm fully on board with Bucky.
But we need to get back to the way we were playing defensively early in conference.

They were playing one guy under 6'8, our lineups need adjustment

We just don't have a lot of answers for a team like that.

Shoot 55% from 3 seems to be about the only one.

I would like to see us more committed to our backcourt pressure defense. We're going to give up some dunks, but we at least make it more difficult for the ball handlers and keep the pace of play elevated. When teams (FL and MO) are annihilating you in the front court there's not that much to lose.

The way we've executed the full court defense the last several games it's looked more like the Buzz Williams kill 10 seconds off the shot clock press.

And that only works if you don't give up a ****-ton of offensive rebounds like we did in the first half. We should have been up by 15+ at the break, but we couldn't get a rebound.

This fact seems to elude most posters here. It's hard to win when you're short

Who are you going to put on the court, Federico and Vinson? I don't think that's the answer.

Mizzou was more physical. Their bigs were beasts and their guards couldn't be bodied up on their drives.

Overall the Ags are playing much less physical and not as intense.

However, we had a wide open 3 to win and another chance with 4 seconds which we squandered.

Mizzou played a great game and deserved to win.

Bucky simply doesn't have the type of bigs he needs this season. He will get them though.

I do agree on second thought Vinson probably needs to play more in a game like that one. He would have helped us match up a little better defensively. Probably reduce Dominguez and Issac's minutes to offset.

Still don't think that's enough though.

Love Bucky, but the last 2 minutes our defensive game plan should have been to foul their big men, and make them beat us at the free throw line.

Luke had their stats out earlier, and they're like 30% FT shooters.
