I’m always fascinated by finding the game within the game. How a scout turns into a game plan, how it’s executed and how it’s countered. Whichever team figures out the answer first usually takes command of the game first. For Missouri, they lost the initial battle. Game planning against Texas A&M isn’t hard, but because of Buzz Williams, it’s exceptionally hard to execute.
With 4 minutes to play in the 1st half, Texas A&M was in control. They were forcing the rusty Tigers into turnovers, limiting their opportunities to run, and they held a 7 point lead.
