That’s better... I guess?
I’m sure Mizzou’s weekend loss to Alabama still isn’t sitting right with most of the fan base. After all, losing double-digit leads in the second half is always hard to stomach. But you have to at least give the Tigers some points for resiliency. Despite their fall from grace over the past few months, Alabama is still one of the country’s premier teams. They’re fast, they shoot the ball well and they’ve got high-end talent that Missouri can’t always match. Maybe coughing up the lead in the final quarter of the game isn’t ideal, but Missouri did what we’ve been clamoring for them to do all year long: make games competitive.
