MU Sometimes, you just lose to a better team

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-28-2009, 05:28 PM

Yeah, Kimba Walker was ridiculously lucky at times, but he was also good.

It's easy to bitch about the charge call on Leo against Thabeet, or our seeming inability to draw fouls on interior contact, but in reality, we weren't jobbed out of this game, we just lost to a team with more talent.

There was a lid on the basket for us on a lot of shots, but them's the breaks. Sometimes it's your day with the rolls (Memphis) and some days it isn't (today).

Either way, good game by UConn, but big props to MU, who did the entire state, University and their fans proud. I'm more proud of this team than about any I've ever rooted for.

Best Mizzou team i've seen, never ****ing folded

Crush · 03-28-2009, 05:31 PM

Yep, the future actually looks promising.

**KcMizzou** · 03-28-2009, 05:32 PM

Damned right. Those kids have nothing to be ashamed of. They make me proud to be a Mizzou fan.

**petegz28** · 03-28-2009, 05:35 PM

We got robbed on some shots that were in then out of the bucket. All in all, we played a great game and made UCONN play 40 minutes. I just wish we could have come out of the gate a little stronger is all.

im curious, who does missouri lose for next year?

**KcMizzou** · 03-28-2009, 05:36 PM

How 'bout Safford? Damn, that kid is clutch.

And only a soph.

milkman · 03-28-2009, 05:37 PM

I think a part of the reason that they lost is some forced shots when the game was close.

There were several trips that they took quick forced shots when they should have shown some patience in the half court set.

Sully · 03-28-2009, 05:37 PM

I'm so proud.

But this hurts more than I thought it would've.

Had we lost by 20...fine. But missing that many free throws and making that many unforced errors. It could've been a completely different game, had those things been in our favor. Mizzou has been poor at the line forever...I hope they can clear it up.

DeMarre, Lyons, and Lawrence.

I'd buy those guys a beer, if I could. Espescially DeMarre.

Im very proud of this team and they did way better than I expected them to but damn they suck at free-throws. I honestly cant remember seeing anyone hit both of their FT's all tournament long. I know somebody did, probably several times but I cant remember any. Maybe Im just used to the NBA but they are just awful behind the FT line.

The players already on the team will be damn good replacement. You saw two tonight.

Not sure about that, but guys like Safford, Ramsey and Bowers have shown a ton of promise, and now have some highly valuable game experience.

I think Mizzou will be just fine next season. Mainly because of Tiller. That dude is tough as nails, and he'll lead by example. He was the heart of this team, and he'll be the heart of the next.
