this is the first game I have seen more than a few minutes of this season. My thoughts FWIW
1. We lost mostly due to a very slow start. Played better starting about the 10 minute mark of the first half, but it wasn't enough nor was it consistent.
2. Viscovi was godawful tonight. Numerous turnovers, missed four free throws in a row, couldn't shoot, couldn't defend. Honestly should have been benched, but maybe he's all we got.
3. Team was pretty sluggish, though as I indicate they picked it up a bit as the game went.
4. We covered their big guy well, but the double teams on him allowed Pinson and Andrews to burn us. Did not adjust well to them.
5. Give Missouri credit. They are a good team, probably one of the 4-5 best in the SEC. I'm less concerned about losing to them, but Vols could have played much better.
My hope is that the last two games were a slump and we come out of it. Particularly Viscovi has to play a lot better than he did tonight. He was terrible.
