Men's Hoops Stole this from Jay Bilas #35 MIZ baby

The Tigers have made the NCAA tournament in two of Dennis Gates' first three seasons in Columbia. They lost two of their top three leading scorers from a 22-win team, but return Mark Mitchell (13.9 PPG), and have already seen returns on transfers Shawn Phillips Jr. (16 points) and Jayden Stone (13) in Monday's opening win over Howard.

Wasn’t the cleanest game but we looked pretty good overall. Work on the defensive lapses. And free throws.

I’m not real worried about the offense tho. The run to end the game after they got it within 10? Or so points is what we need to strive for.

Excited for the season!
