Odds and ends from MU’s win over Memphis
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
A few statistical notes on MU’s win over Memphis, courtesy of the research folks at ESPN:
– Missouri jumped on Memphis early, moving within a win of its first Final Four. Only Boston College has more tournament wins without a Final Four appearance.
– Memphis allowed 100 points for the first time in the John Calipari era.
– T.J. Tiller had a career-high 23 points for Mizzou.
– Tyreke Evans scored 33 for Memphis in defeat.
WHile we’re all having a Mike Anderson Love affair someone explain this coaching decision to me. I watched Mike’s press conference after the game…Demarre and Matt looked furious with him: From the Kansas City Star
GLENDALE, Ariz. | Missouri’s dream season is over, one game short of the Final Four. Connecticut — with Missouri senior starters Leo Lyons, DeMarre Carroll and Matt Lawrence on the bench for most of the final five minutes — turned ONLY a three-point game into an 82-75 Huskies victory in the NCAA West Regional final. What was that? 1:40 to go 4 time outs no shot and only down by 3?????????????
