I'm not sure. But I trust our trainers, and we'll evaluate him."

#Mizzou's Jason Crowe Jr. says one of his goals is "to win every game at home this season."

#Mizzou's Toni Bryant on his success from the corners so far this season: "I think at the next level, that's where most of my shots will come from. Obviously, I probably work on the corners the most."

Toni Bryant says this team's ceiling is "a championship contender."

#Mizzou HC Dennis Gates on his freshmen bouncing back tonight: "If they could turn back the hands of time, I'm sure they would, just based off their performance in St. Louis, but as basketball players, these guys just bounce back mentally, physically and emotionally."
