Not saying Dennis Gates is unplugged or doesn't care, I'm sure he does... but during games he comes across as completely disinterested. Like a sloth, watching his team play basketball.

He's like Anthony Grant if someone slipped him some Rohypnol...
 
In my undergrad and postgrad years I remember what it was like watching basketball on Wednesday. In Session 1, there may have been a couple of thousand people in the stands: several hundred of which were UK fans.

Fast forward to a few years ago when Sankey made it a point to emphasize basketball and the SEC.

Session One. Considering the teams that were playing last night, this is a pretty big number: 16.5K+.

Building on this a bit ...

Mizzou went 0'fer in SEC play this season.

BUT, look at a blurb from KenPom on the Tigers ...

"The thing is, while Missouri is not a very good basketball team by SEC standards, they do not actually suck. They beat Minnesota and Pitt in true road games. Those will be better true road wins than a lot of tournament teams. Of the Tigers’ 16 SEC losses, nine have been by single digits, and one was in overtime - to South Carolina. As it stands now, Missouri will be the highest-ranked winless team for as long as I have ratings for."
Doesn't matter this morning.
