Moral victories are overrated. Once the losses begin to pile up the way they have for a team like Missouri, it doesn’t feel any better to almost get one.
At this stage of the season, we know who this Missouri team is. They’re a team that fights. They play hard. They play well enough a lot of the time to be pesky, but when there’s always one stretch that puts them behind the eight ball. It happened again last night. A predictable 17-2 run sniped what had started out as a very promising 30 minutes of basketball.
