Mizzou Links, 3-6-14: Ross makes Senior Night memorable and the Pingetons fall

1. That was ... fun?

I'll say this: For those complaining that this team isn't showing enough heart and togetherness, I think last night proved that wrong. This team has infinite problems, but it wants to be good, and it took a whole lot of want to figure out how to come back from 11 down while playing horrible basketball. So there's that.

(And yes, the fact that three freshmen were responsible for a whole lot of the "want" is an exciting thing.)
