That two-month losing streak was a soul-sapping stretch.
“Only we know what we’ve been going through these last couple months,” sophomore forward Kevin Puryear, a Blue Springs South graduate, said after ending a 13-game slide with a win Feb. 4 against Arkansas. “It’s been terrible honestly. I’m not even going to sugarcoat it.”

“They might be having a little more fun than they were,” third-year coach Kim Anderson said.
His squad followed a win against the Razorbacks in the Rally for Rhyan Game with a three-point loss at Texas A&M, the Tigers’ best road result since February 2014, and a second straight home win last Saturday.
