Losing four of your last five games is not how you want any regular season to end.
Especially when three of the losses came against teams you had previously beaten, and most of them easily. Missouri is in a bit of a rut, just at a bad time to be in a rut.
The good news is it doesn’t take much to get out of rut. The first thing you need to do is just play harder. Playing hard doesn’t make shots go in or prevent your opponent from making shots, but it can help you in a lot of ways.
