COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin didn’t easily get over Saturday’s collapse against Louisiana State. He might never.
“I think this’ll be part of me probably until they put me in a casket,” he said Tuesday. “Not that I’ll be sitting there thinking about it every day. I don’t know if this is a good thing, but I’ve managed to remember those tough losses as opposed to the big wins, for whatever reason.”
On his radio show Monday night, Martin said the 86-80 overtime loss was one of the three worst defeats he’s experienced in 11 seasons as a head coach.
