I’ll be honest with you here. I usually keep a close eye on StatBroadcast during the game, I didn’t for this one. I was a typically frustrated fan after the game wrapped up, which isn’t entirely unusual for me after a loss. However, any frustration tends to subside once I get into the numbers.
That did not happen this time. If anything, looking at the numbers made it worse.
I’ll explain.
Did Mizzou play well? That’s usually a more complicated question than why one team won and one team lost. I think too often we equate playing well with shooting well.
