Mizzou's style means that cannot get through 6 games, they are too streaky and that will catch up with them eventually because you cannot afford to play a bad half of basketball against the more elite teams.

Kinda cool Dominic James got to play a few minutes today, good to see people who stay 4 years play their final game. I feel like this 1-and-out rule sucks (1yr. of college before NBA) because what I see from some of the Freshman is just uninspired play. Yes, they get their team to this spot through the regular season (i.e. DeRozan of USC) but they just don't seem to care as much as people who have been with the University for 3-4 years. Those are the guys playing their hearts out, crying as the go off the court for the last time.

That's the spirit of amateur athletics, not some kids who are being strong-armed into making the NCAA money for some reason. I still don't get why you cannot make the leap from HS to the NBA, it's not like it hasn't worked out in the past (Kemp, Bryant, Tmac, KG, Howard, Lebron etc...) and it's not like the sport is as physically imposing as football. You still see the best NBA prospects only playing one year of College Ball with a few exceptions like Blake Griffin who is only going to play two.
