I am enjoying this so far. I have started a Legacy with Northern Colorado and am having a really fun time with it. I'll probably post about it, but more towards the coaches point of view and not until I am really, really far into it, as over the years on this forum I never have finished what I've started.

Columbia, MO - In the first half, it appeared that the Missouri Tigers wanted to be anywhere but in this first round NIT game. Frequent turnovers and foul trouble allowed Texas Southern to maintain a small lead at the intermission. However, both teams reverted back to form in the second half, with Missouri scoring the first 12 points in the half. Likewise, TSU demonstrated the shooting inconsistency that has dogged the team throughout the second half of this season.

"This is a bitter disappointment. We lost three of our last four games when only one more victory would have lifted us to the 20-victory mark for the season. Not to mention missing out on an opportunity to represent the SWAC conference in the NCAA tournament. I suppose it is possible that my job is in jeopardy. I'll just have to ride it out and see what the feedback is from the athletic department." - Coach M. Lewis
