Team is lightyears better than it was when we played OU.
They'll struggle to get to .500 this year, but the future is looking much better now than it was in the first month of the season. In that month, we've gone from a complete blowout by a mediocre Purdue team, a scare vs. a pathetic Southeast Missouri State team and another blowout vs. a good OU team to actually competing with solid competition. We're on a three-game losing streak, but in those three games we played 30 minutes of near-even basketball with Xavier, lost on a last-second three to Illinois and lost in OT on a missed layup to OSU.
We're probably only going to win another eight games this year (if we're lucky), so as far as OU's concerned, MU is a drag on your RPI, but this is actually beginning to look like the makings of a good team a year or two into the future.
