Okay, so I'm watching this KU game and I have a thought:
Would it be worth playing some 4-corners basketball early against Kansas? Think about that game we played at home against Tech. Mizzou was never really at risk of losing that game, but the pace was so slow and so methodical that it just took the crowd right out of it.
MU's biggest hurdle in that game will obviously be the crowd. Well if we go out there and take quick shots and we're off, we could be down 12-4 early and suddenly AFH will be insane. However, if we can take some air out of the ball and after 3 or 4 minutes the score is something like 8-4; does that take enough energy out of the crowd to start trying to pick up the pace?
The early energy that KU gets from that crowd is second to none, if slowing it up a bit allows us to weather the storm, I actually think Mizzou can pull it off.
Then again, we could go out there and play like we did against KSU and lose by 20. Hard to say...
