And then the opponent answers and the air is let out of the balloon.
Mizzou battled that sucker down to 49-53 with the ball in their hands and Hodge puts up a challenged 3 that gets blocked. Then after a predictable Aggie offensive board, Mizzou fouls, A&M makes 'em both and Mizzou immediately turns the ball over, fouls again and puts them right back on the line for 2 more.
From getting blocked on a possession that could've made it a 1 point game to down 8 in about 90 seconds of gameplay.
As soon as that shot got blocked I thought "****, is THAT the play where the air came out of the balloon?"
90 seconds later, it sure as hell felt like it.
Damn.

I saw them get it down to 4, went to assist a crying kid and came back to a 14 or 15 point game. Was like ****
