[Blue Hawk (Mizzou) Card]

Got to within 6 and then an 8-0 Colorado run.

We're out of position on almost every defensive play.  Most of the 3s they're hitting are basically wide open.

You might be right about three point defense, but it does not look like defense is our primary problem to me, as we seem to be giving up a lot of possessions were our defense is tight, at least inside, for a long time, then they find the open three-point shooter who cans it. They are hitting their shots, even when we have pretty good (in my eyes) defense. And we are missing our good shots. If we were hitting a decent percentage of our good shots, we would still be in this game.

Tonight, Colorado is just a lot better. The game is about making the ball go through the hoop. They are doing that a lot better than we are.
