At the very least, Wednesday’s experiment proved definitively that Cullen VanLeer isn’t the problem. The sophomore had been playing too many minutes, but against LSU he played just one single minute ... and Mizzou still lost its most winnable SEC game by 11 points. A solid first half produced a five-point lead. The second half gave it all away and then some.
From The Trib:
After hitting 46.9 percent of its shots in the first half, Missouri had the possession arrow to start the second period. Jordan Geist received the inbound pass but was instantly stripped by Skylar Mays, who converted a layup on the other end.
