Study Hall: Mizzou 88, Wichita State 84

Improbable.

Winning basketball games is hard. Winning road basketball games is harder. Winning road basketball games when you were -17.1% in effective field goal shooting... well it’s not impossible, but it’s improbable.

Then you factor in more details. Like: Kobe Brown was virtually absent, Isiaih Mosley didn’t play at all, and Mizzou made just 7 of 33 from three point range, and they still won. Wichita State went on a 16-0 run, and a 10-0 run, both in the second half and Mizzou still won. That’s 26-0 in unanswered points ON THE ROAD!

Some stats on the effectiveness of scoring runs:

- When a team goes on a scoring run of 10-0 or better, they win 72% of the time.
