I wanted to go to that game but work ran a little long- instead I watched on ESPNU.

In my opinion, the Tigers would have had it in the bag in regulation if they hadn't tried to throw the ball back into play in the last 10 seconds. Oh well.

Or hit a few free throws. Lots of D played last night, huh?

I would have liked to have seen them beat G-Town.

[Tigerhaze]

Well, despite dwindling a huge double-digit lead, they were able to pull it out against Oregon 83-80.

saw that. they havent exactly looked great, but keep on winning kind of fugly arent they?

[Tigerhaze]

Fugly is a good word for it- a part of the slopiness appears to be due to hustle plays, but much of it seems like some sloppy fundementals such as free throws. I'll be interested in seeing how they respond to Illinois in the Bragging Rights game.

Looks like Mizzou learned their lesson (barely) about how to win in OT versus Vandy last night.
