There’s no telling what story lay before this team if it could get a few breaks to go their way early instead of late.
The reality is Missouri is vastly behind Kentucky in the talent department and the majority of outcomes tonight we’re going to see Kentucky exercise that difference to a win. The Tigers fought and made it a respectable final, but the reality is once Mizzou took a one-point lead for approximately 19 seconds in the first half, Kentucky did what they needed to do to win the game.
With 16 minutes to play the Wildcats took a 20-point lead, and with an impending wintry mix weather event happening outside it was understandable for the Tiger faithful to start heading for the exits.
