Roadkills will be hard to come by for us but Mizzou is down right terrible in at least one key stat.....they have 121 turnovers vs 95 assists in 9 games....some here think our 1-1 ratio is unacceptable. They also struggle to put the ball in the basket....only a .429 team FG% and .667 from the line. However they do have a deep bench and get after it on the O glass. This stat spells trouble, they shoot roughly 22 triples per game at a 39% clip.

Muskie - the game is tomorrow, December 18th.

What do you guys think? Mizzou -3?

EDIT: Guessed before looking at Sagarin. Based on the Sagarin, I'm thinking pick 'em.

KenPom has Mizzou as a two point favorite

Count me in that group. It is unacceptable.
In large part because many of the TO's are from sloppy play/passing, rather than stellar defense/steals.

Sagarin says we're more than 3 points better before accounting for homecourt, and I don't expect this to be a particularly hostile environment (and by that, I mean it will be a morgue). If we get 2, I'm all over that.

No way I'd put money on this xavier team to win a road game until I actually see it can be done, but that's just me. Missouri is improving, I dont think Xavier is, yet.

[Muskie]

I believe that X will Win.

Overall I've been fairly down on this team, however this feels like a road win to me
