We’ve talked a little too much about luck, but there were 100 moments where you saw a play or two unfold and thought... yep that is how it’s gone this year. When you need a break, you get the opposite.
For once, Mizzou found themselves getting past the 10 minute mark and still remaining in the game. They were down a single possession at that stage, and over the next 4-5 minutes they hung in with the Gators. With 5:30 to play Connor Vanover sank a 3 to cut the lead back down to one point. Mizzou gave up a basket to go back down three, but then on an out of bounds play Dennis Gates drew up a play to shake Nick Honor free for a good look at the top of the key.
