Obviously, it's terribly embarrassing to see Mizzou fall flat on their face like that. That's honestly the first bad performance they've had all year. Add on that Illinois couldn't miss and it was a rough situation. I do think that Weber did a great job on the offensive end of spreading his players to minimize Mizzou's chances to trap.
It was actually a terrible night for the whole Big 12 North.....
MU loses to Illinois by 16
KU loses to Zona by 17
ISU loses to South Dakota State by 7
NU loses to UMBC by 2
CU beats Louisana Monroe by 3
In addition, Gonzaga fell to Portland State. Being a college basketball fan is a cruel, cruel occupation.
