COLUMBIA, MO. • Hopefully Missouri fans were able to spend their Sunday thinking about anything but Saturday’s basketball meltdown, maybe with a more pleasurable activity like folding laundry, cleaning the basement or watching snow melt.

If you woke up Monday still asking yourself how the Tigers blew a 14-point lead with barely two minutes to play, you’re in luck, which is in short supply these days considering all that went wrong at Mizzou Arena on Saturday.
