*There's a lot of competition for Mizzou's worst player in that half:
Kobe Brown can't no show for this game. He did.
D'Moi Hodge dropped three passes and didn't come close with his first few shots.
Sean East, my God.
*Look this was always possible. I'm not going to murder them for Kansas running them off the court. They're better. But they also looked so much more prepared and able to handle this atmosphere. Missouri looked panicked from the start.
*I said this morning the atmosphere could go any number of ways. If we're being honest, it was too big for Mizzou.
*The offense wasn't good but it wasn't awful. They got a lot of layups. The stats say Mizzou shot 8/16 on layups. It seemed far worse than that. They were 3/13 from three. That also seemed far worse.
*But I'm not sure the offense even mattered. Missouri was HORRIFIC on defense. You can credit Kansas for some of it. Bill Self ran a clinic. They got the ball legitimately anywhere they wanted to. It looked like they had five point guards on the floor. But at some point feel free to step in front of someone. Feel free to guard the back door. Feel free not to leave the shooters wide open.
*I don't know what's going on with Isiaih Mosley. I wish I did. But the truth is we show up every day and we don't know if he's going to play any better than you do. It's my opinion Dennis Gates should give you guys some idea what's going on, but it doesn't seem likely he's going to.
*Twenty minutes left. Anything can happen. If this crowd has anything to say about it, they'll drag Missouri back into this. I'm honestly not sure how it happens though. I've seen nothing to indicate Missouri can get enough stops to get within 10, much less make it close.
