It's ridiculous that Missouri would fall at all after barely losing AT Kansas.

Sadly, I think so too. This year, anyway. Something is wrong with them this year.

and beat them badly at home. They lost twice to them, which probably shouldn't happen to a top five team. It was also the first time they had lost two games in a role. Even though they played very well in a large part of the Kansas game, they missed some free throws, and gave up a huge lead after Kansas forced them into some bad shots.

Mizzou is a good team, and entertaining to watch on TV and in person, but they have to pull it together for the tournament. Coach Frank Haith's problems in Miami are going to be a distraction, too.
