How. Many. Times.
How many time have we sat here lamenting a blown opportunity? Lamenting getting ref balled? Lamenting a crazy sequence going against Mizzou?
Tonight feels monumental. Yes, it’s one game. But I can’t remember a time seeing the Tigers get punched in the chin that hard and respond. They were ref balled. They had to deal with a kid that couldn’t miss from three in the second half. They had to play a damned walk-on down the stretch due to foul trouble.
Didn’t matter. Stuck with it. Found a way. Damned if that wasn’t one of the most cathartic wins I’ve ever experienced as a Mizzou fan. Everything pointed to that game feeling like yet another kick in the nuts. But something about this regime feels different.
It may not come to fruition this year. Or next. But I think we are in for a special ride. Jump on board. There will be a bump or two along the way. But I think we all will like where this train is stopping.
