52-52, under 12 time out.

Glad this one has been more competitive than I expected.

Mizzou has had several open looks from three but they aren't dropping. Now 3 for 20.

UConn looks to be pulling away.

They really need to stop taking jumpers. UCONN is having issues with the press after made baskets.

Mizzou finally hits a three with 46 seconds left. Looks like it's going to be to late to matter. 76-70 UCONN

Kemba Walker is nasty. Tyreke Evans and him would be a great 1 on 1 matchup.

These last two games have been a great recruiting tool for Mizzou. A lot of players are going to want to play their fast-paced style.

UConn made their free throws late, or Mizzou would have made the end very interesting. They made a couple tough 3s in the last minute to keep it close.

They're just trrying to cover for Piney. :tongue2:

Mizzou misses a layup at the buzzer to lose by 7.

I agree but why couldn't their coach get more players down to UAB. I can remember seeing them play at Nationwide a few years ago and wondered why their coach did not have a bigger job.

Out of all the games starting with the Sweet 16, I thought that this one was the most poorly officiated. They let Missouri do a lot of bumping on the UConn guards in the half-court. I don't know maybe it was just me but I know that Ed would have not let that get pass his eyes.
