Yep. You have to know that KU was going to get some calls down the stretch, and you have to make buckets to overcome that. 7 minutes without a field goal was the death blow.
Still, Mizzou played the best bball by an opponent in Lawerence in the past five years. It is something to build on as the team gets ready for the tourney.
I think they will keep the eyes on the prize. This team wants to do well in the tournament, and tournament success is what defines programs these days.
Losing sucks, but a close loss can be built upon. A 25 point blowout would have been a devastating blow for the team's psyche.
The next couple of weeks are going to show us how good a coach Haith can be. I think this team is going to handle itself well, and have a strong finish going into the NCAA's.
