My step-brother was 6-foot-5. I was 5-foot-nothing. He was a tremendous athlete. I was not. He was in high school. I was in elementary school. He beat me every. single. time. when we played basketball. It was like clockwork. Heck, it was rare occasion when I could score a basket on him.
That’s the way it was supposed to be.
That’s what Missouri’s win against Vanderbilt felt like. The Tigers are the more talented team. They have the better coach. They invest more in the program. That was a game they should have won.
