I think Kansas was up 11-6 at one point, only to now trail 25-12.

this is the worst officiating I've seen all year

Anderson gets the foul call because he falls trying to push Safford away with his off arm.

At least he split the pair.

That's a pretty appropriate ending to that half.

Give up an open three, then hit a near-half-court shot and it doesn’t count.

Bad everything.

Bad passing, bad shooting, stupid fouls, turning the ball over way too much. Nobody’s shown up except Safford, and that’s debatable. Bad Leo and Bad Demarre are in the house.

Defense, actually, hasn’t been terrible. But hasn’t been good.

I’ve managed to watch 2 games this year. The other was Illinois.

Its been a long time since Smith and Peeler ran over teams like this.

I honestly don't think I've been more frustrated with a Missouri loss than this one

Probably because we threw that game away with, like rpt said, turnovers, missed opportunities, and missed rebounds. We would go on a nice run with the offense clicking, and then there would be poor shot selection (usually on a three).

Leo Lyons and JT Tiller showed up in the second half, though. But maybe this game will be the end of Miguel Paul’s playing time for a little while.
