Lets have a round of applause for TO BARRETT?!? Young man stepped up HUGE in the biggest spot of his life. We don’t win that game if he doesn’t take care of the ball and play that tough D like he did. He also came in ICE COLD
JOHN I AM JUMPING UP AND DOWN LIKE AN ABSOLUTE GOOFBALL AT 1AM!!!! (had to record the game) LETS GOOOO! One of the best wins I can remember in a long time MIZ
They played excellent defense the whole game. I attended the game and it felt like a football scrimmage. Mizzou hung in there despite some questionable officiating. Gates coached his best game as the Tiger coach!
You have to have depth to win on the road in college basketball and Mizzou has that. As long as they take care of home court (which they should win all their home games), Mizzou can finish top three in the Sec conference this year in my opinion.
I have to say, Mezzo has been known to "mizzou" games like that in the past and most of us true mizzou fans get really anxious late in a game that gets anywhere near close. After last night, I am finally starting to feel like we are a school and team in both football and basketball that is learning how and expecting to close out games in victory
Fantastic win. Now gotta watch out for a trap game vs Arkansas this weekend. Having not a conference game yet, I think we will see their best against us. And coming off the high of the Florida to win, they better be ready!
2 pieces. If Trent Pierce keeps it up he'll be in the NBA round 1. 6'9 wing 3 and d dunking on folks. That's NBA. Secondly if these freshmen keep getting better that puts us in the title hunt.
You're spot on about pierce. He looks 6-11 to me and has gotten much stronger. Good defender. As soon as he finds in game confidence with his soft jumper he's gonna be special. I'm as excited about the future as I am this very talented team, my only worry is Ant and Pierce playing their way into the draft early.
And I'm not ready to say title hunt but I'm not sure even the biggest mizzou fans realize how talented and deep this team is. With Grill back we can beat ANYONE on a neutral court any given day.
I'd be perfectly fine with both going round 1 this year. Good for them and us. If they do it likely means we made a deep run which I think is likely. Hope they take us to a national title and go round 1 NBA perfect case.
@thomasharp3246 sounds like a plan! I would guess Pierce will be back next year just because of the lack of minutes/production thus far(He's gonna be a star next year) but I could see Ant playing his way into the 1st round this year, especially the way he's shooting the ball now. He legitimately has no weaknesses if he's knocking in 3s.
Unlikely for Pierce. The NBA is like NFL it's about potential. Not many guys 6'10 wing with a stroke can dribble and bang on people. I think he's found his rhythm. We shall see. Hey maybe he decides to stay a year and get stronger.
Tigers left 5-6 points on the table late, too, with Ant, Grill and Pierce all missing both FT's after being fouled. Turned out to be a good thing Josh Gray went 4-6! 😉
Perkins getting kicked out might have saved Mizzou in the end. Barrett was way better handling the ball against pressure. Perkins has been a black hole recently.
Barrett also made multiple huge 50/50 plays on poke always, and had a huge second chance offensive rebound we got because of his initial tip. I can’t lie I was questioning a freshman being put into the game as Gates did it. Clearly he saw enough in practice to know T.O was ready for that moment. Huge stuff
That was a great game, and might just vault their confidence into an even better record than we were hoping for. Now they know they can play the physical game and actually rebound, even with the biggest teams.
Great win, BUT Miz will not get much love when giving up HUGE leads !! Terrible officiating the second half no doubt. One point win is hard to swallow imo with a 19 point lead. Miz changed how they played AGAIN!! Impressive win just not what it should be being up 19.
Nice win for sure... You all are about to give Cal his fifth SEC loss i do believe. Arkansas might very well be 0-6 after these next two games.... ouch.

You had to love it.
Looks like he was born dribbling a basketball
He needs more minutes at the expense of Tony Perkins. Perkins is too slow and methodical and pressure eats him alive.
@@danschweiger3700 I think Perkins has had his moments but I don’t disagree entirely
I see nothing but an upside to this team at this point. We still haven’t played our best basketball for an entire game.
What a massive win. Expectations are absolutely tournament team. MIZ!
That second half made me squirm…a lot…but WHAT A WIN! I could almost feel the country finally take notice of this team all at once 🙂

LETS GOOOO! One of the best wins I can remember in a long time
MIZ
ZOU!
Just a reminder for all you folks to go back and watch Pierce’s posterizer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Easily a top 10 win in basketball in my lifetime as mizzou fan. So many incredible and nerve wracking moments from tonights game.
They played excellent defense the whole game. I attended the game and it felt like a football scrimmage. Mizzou hung in there despite some questionable officiating. Gates coached his best game as the Tiger coach!
Is the Damon Wilson news confirmed? I don't want to jump the gun but that would be huge!
Pass rush gonna be NASTY in '25.
Cheers!
It’s on his own instagram page
this team is deep.. TO Barret comes in havent played the past few games and gave solid minutes late in the game
Trust in GATES! 1st year was great second year, not so much. Now, his 3rd is shaping up to be even better than the 1st 💪🏾♨️.
A marquee win at Florida plus the big win over Kansas, this team is starting great. Keep it up Tigers and you will be in the big dance!!

Yep, potential trap for sure. DG will be on them.

Hey john, i really think Gates is going to have to find a way to get TO Barrett minutes. I believe he can really unlock this teams potential.
Props to Coach Gates for the work he’s done so far, considering much of the rotation is holdovers from a generationally-bad team.
One Word Caleb Grill on Fire let's go MIZ
Tigers left 5-6 points on the table late, too, with Ant, Grill and Pierce all missing both FT's after being fouled. Turned out to be a good thing Josh Gray went 4-6! 😉
Refs appeared to have money on the gators.
Many teams in the sec get alot of home cooking and mysterious calls and no calls
Pat Adams is horrible. He left the arena with Florida fans mad at him too
I thought it was going to be a classic Mizzou gets screwed job
For sure. Blatant favoritism.
@henketooraw me too
Will Mizzou be ranked after tonight's win
Win Saturday and we should be in the top 15
Yeah, if we beat Arkansas, I think that's a safe bet.
And the officiating was horrendous. I swear it was the same sec crew as the A&M football game in college station
No kidding. There was stretch where every time Florida missed a shot there was a foul called on Mizzou.
Mizzou should hit the top 25 if they beat Arkansas with A&M, Bama and Ms St losing. They blew a 16 point lead but hung on to win. A wins a win.
Perkins getting kicked out might have saved Mizzou in the end. Barrett was way better handling the ball against pressure. Perkins has been a black hole recently.
Barrett also made multiple huge 50/50 plays on poke always, and had a huge second chance offensive rebound we got because of his initial tip. I can’t lie I was questioning a freshman being put into the game as Gates did it. Clearly he saw enough in practice to know T.O was ready for that moment. Huge stuff
Damon Wilson too great night
Pat Adams is the worst referee in basketball. Any game he officiates is always a hot mess
I thought all the calls went against Missouri in the second half
Either way, the refs KILLED the flow of the game.
Beating KU was his greatest win frfr they was number 1 lol we can’t overlook that W
I won't argue with that.
That was a great game, and might just vault their confidence into an even better record than we were hoping for. Now they know they can play the physical game and actually rebound, even with the biggest teams.
Can we start using the T word with this team and how they deserve to be an at large team in the T word
Also... rank them!
I ain't scared!
@@toddalexander1903 hahahahah the T word 🤣🤣🤣
Great win, BUT Miz will not get much love when giving up HUGE leads !! Terrible officiating the second half no doubt.
One point win is hard to swallow imo with a 19 point lead. Miz changed how they played AGAIN!! Impressive win just not what it should be being up 19.
Worst officiated game I’ve ever seen and I’m not kidding
They played fine. Refs and free throw shooting were the only reason they didn't win by 12+
Nice win for sure...
You all are about to give Cal his fifth SEC loss i do believe.
Arkansas might very well be 0-6 after these next two games.... ouch.
Mizzou fan who lives in Arkansas and I can't wait until I can watch them play in bud Walton. I think it's going to be a great game.
