Dana Ford sat at his postgame press conference and said there were plenty of things to build off of Missouri State's second half in Friday night's 86-62 win over Mississippi Valley State.
His team was better on the offensive boards. They turned the ball over less. Some players stepped up when they've been struggling. Overall, it was a pretty good second half.
But what about that first half? Man oh man, what about that first half?
Against, statistically, one of the worst teams in Division I college basketball, Missouri State took a one-point lead into halftime after letting Mississippi Valley State score 10 of the half's last 11 points.
