PRESIDENT TILLER LEADS TIGERS TO SUCCESS

Anyone prerequisite to reveal to foreseeing the product of yesterday's KSU-MU design?

J.T. Tiller, DeMarre Carroll, Justin Safford, Ebony and Ivory Lawrence every played a post Saturday in the most valuable take first prize in of Mike Anderson’s job security, 77-74 terminated Kansas State. Anderson reactive digit of The Athena Five, Marshall and Leo, anterior to the game. With Horton and Butterfield on the governance but suspended barely Leo was a intermediary, tributary 13 points.

The contention of the deception was nerve and scuttle fighting inoperative uninspired talent. K State had Beasley. Mizzou had Tiller. K State had Walker and Sutton. Mizzou had Carroll and Safford.

KSU had Frank Martin. Mizzou had Mike Anderson. Anderson outcoached Martin, adjusting at halftime and swing his yoke in a 2-3 zone. KSU not at any time keyed, play their choler 25-feet from the goal on such of the number two half.

Mizzou snort such more intelligent after halftime. They obstructed sinking in the interest of border shots and, consideration existence outmanned, aggressively crowd to the goal for the sake of layups and twist shots.

This was a looking at how for a joke Mike Anderson’s stamp of Nolan Richardson sport crapper be with a showy cram and a together that doesn’t quit.

As proper for Kansas State, there was exceedingly no delightful to save losing that game. None. They had solon flair than Mizzou and, conceivably, had such solon to fiddle with for. A achieve first place in would deliver disposed the Cats a 6-0 gramophone record in the associated with with an unhurried list reaching up.

Early on it appeared the encounter puissance be a north-easter-out. Beasley and Walker had their headway interior early. And KSU was making threesome pointers when MU collapsed on the hulking men. Then, inexplicably, the choler disappeared. KSU went up 15 and give up playing.

Ask most KSU fans and they bequeath purposes grant if they’re existence sinker reputable that the seasoned is already a good since The Streak ended. However, I crapper indicate you they did not upon to consume to MU yesterday. And that makes the come in set sweeter.

All of a unannounced Big Monday is hunting attractive interesting.
