If you were going into this game with any trepidations it was understandable. Coastal Carolina profiled as a team who could score the basketball, and they came into town with the one thing Mizzou lacked: A true inside presence.
Essam Mostafa was averaging a double double, and 6’9 and 250 lbs he is a load on the interior. Missouri, as we know all too well so far, does not have an inside presence. What they do have is a deep group of pesky defenders, and the ability to score the ball. So far this season Mizzou has a top 20 offensive possession length, and a top 30 offense by Adjusted Efficiency on KenPom.
