I touched on it a little yesterday, but I just don't understand why the Missouri loss is the condemnation of Villanova. I half expected it to be after the back-to-back losses to Saint Louis and Santa Clara, but not this. Were we supposed to beat a Top-10 team after those losses? Hell no. And we competed pretty well with them and showed a lot of heart. That used to count for something and be a large factor in judging a team.
And now, on to the news.

Dauster backed us before the season, and he's not given up on us yet, but this is a pretty damning article of our play (he makes some fair points). Still though, Mizzou are really good. I don't think we're getting enough credit for the fight we put up in that game.
