Aside from my academic department, I hereby disown Mizzou.
I feel better now. I used to just tell people that I got my degrees from the university of Missouri instead of differentiating between the two schools that I graduated from in the system. No longer.

Terrible officiating. 23-7 free throw advantage for Mizzou is ridiculous. Scotty and Melvin were hacked every time they touched the ball.
In looking at the loss, several things stand out...
1) ISU had control of the pace, but let MU take over the pace of the game, starting around the 13-minute mark of the second half. ISU didn't shoot that well in the first half, but they were crashing the boards and getting second chance opportunities.
When MU started pushing the pace during their run mid-second half, ISU gave up on crashing the boards, and four guys were turning tail and running trying to stop MU on the break as soon as a shot went up. Fatal tactical error. ISU was not going to stop MU's quickness, so they should have continued pressing their physical advantage by crashing the boards.
2) Too many missed shots in the second half. ISU shot 31% (5/15) on 2pt FG in the 2nd half, down from 48% (10/21) in the first half. A number of those shots were short range open jumpers.
3) Some bad turnovers. 15 TOs is not normally insurmountable, but against a top ten team, those TOs really hurt, especially against a running team like MU.
Officiating is not in the list of things that cost ISU the game. It just wasn't. The officials were letting each team play to their strengths. Yes, they were letting the the MU guards body/hand check SC, but they were also letting ISU be physical inside. The problem is that ISU stopped being physical about midway through the 2nd half, and never picked it back up.
Except for that one questionable charge call, RW was having his way with MU. ISU just didn't exploit that enough in the second half. RW ended the game with one PF in 38 minutes. Ratliffe (RW's counterpart from MU) had 4 PFs in 29 minutes. Why didn't ISU go after him and get him out of the game? He scored 16 points.
The game was not badly officiated. ISU just didn't take advantage of the way the game was being called.

Good analysis. It's easy to blame the refs, but it didn't look like we had the same aggressiveness in the second half. Seemed like we were playing to hold on to the lead instead of expanding it. Still think this team is continuing to grow and improve. I think Baylor should be worried about Saturday! (And I don't think Mizzou wants to play us on a neutral court anytime soon.)
