Are we at the “moral victory” part of the season yet?
No?
Ok, because while Missouri looked better they still weren’t good enough to put any real scare into Kentucky for the bulk of the second half. And a drought of not being able to make shots outside of the free throw line fully sealed their fate in Lexington.
After getting down by 14 points in the first 10 minutes of play, Missouri clawed their way back into the game. They cut the lead to four after a 10-0 run, they made Kentucky uncomfortable, and found a way to stay in the game.
