“The fastest 40 minutes in basketball.” That used to be the slogan for Missouri’s No. 5 basketball team. It referred to their style of play that mildly resembled the 100-meter dash. When coach Mike Anderson left to coach Arkan- sas, however, the slogan left with him, but the style of play remained. No. 3 Baylor will have to contend with this style as it faces the Tigers at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Ferrell Center. The Tigers’ starting five consists of four guards and a power forward. This lineup allows them to have ball handlers at many different positions. As a team, Missouri is the second-best shooting team in the country at just over 50 percent. They score more than 83 points per game, which makes them the fourth-best offense in the country.

Analysis

Missouri’s offense starts with senior Marcus Den- mon. He averages 15.4 points per game in conference play, the same as Baylor sophomore Perry Jones III. Denmon shoots nearly 48 percent from the field and 42 percent from the 3-point line. Matt Hellman | Lariat Photo Editor Brady Heslip will likely guard Denmon. Heslip is No. 4 senior Quincy Acy slams it home against Bethune- not known for his defense, but he does average about Cookman Dec. 14 at the Ferrell Center. one steal per game. Heslip likely won’t shut down Denmon, but if he can force him into taking contested matched up with senior Kim English. English is only 6 shots, then Heslip should be happy with his defensive feet 6 inches tall, and his true position is guard. Jones effort.
