Familiarity can breed complacency. Towards the end of the first half and the early parts of the second half I felt the complacency set in. Here were were, Mizzou losing the game by double digits, nothing really working, turnovers galore, players forcing bad shots. It felt familiar.
But weirdly enough Mizzou found a way to get some stops and make it a game. It helps the South Carolina is not a great shooting team, and they were missing threes, long twos, bunnies, pretty much all of them. Some of it is because Mizzou forced those shots, or tough angles, and others happened because the Gamecocks are not a great offensive team.
