Not really, that was too easy and I would have aimed higher there as well (although St. John's under Mike Anderson has been miles better than the disgrace that Mizzou basketball has become over the past decade).
Beyond dealing with the road atmosphere itself, KU is going to really get nothing out of a game like this against an outmatched team that defended ball screens worse than any team KU has faced and will face all season. Continually delivering such beatdowns every year serves very little purpose other than maximum embarrassment. That can be an end in itself I guess but it isn't going to help when the games really matter.
