If I Could Type the Fight Song, I Would

If I could type the fight song, I would be doing over and over. If I could communicate the sound of me and Katie cheering and jumping up and down and hugging last night, I would. Just not sure how to communicate the happiness that has been erupting from me for the last 14 hours.
How did the Tigers pull over the biggest win in the last 3 years? I'm still not sure exactly how, but here are some ideas.
- Throwing 11 guys around in a defensive whirlwind for 40 minutes will eventually force even the best teams to make a ton of mistakes... that attacking 2-3 zone was beyond "lock-down."
- The attitudes of Carroll, Tiller, Taylor, Lawrence, and English during that second half... they definitely looked like they wanted it more.
- Our new guys made fewer mistakes than their new guys...

- Sherron Collins was channelling Christian Moody when he stepped to the free-throw line with a 2-point lead, 1:48 left and a chance to kill a Mizzou run... the 81% shooter bricked both.
- Nerves are easier to calm at home... the difference in patience and shot-selection between halves was key.
- Big-man foul trouble is a killer... the Morris twins had 7 fouls, Aldrich and Little had 4 each. Carroll did have 3 fouls, but none in the final 10 minutes.
- Hard to hold a lead when you keep having to use your timeouts to calm your team down after a few of their 26 turnovers... I'm looking in your direction, Bill Self. Not having a timeout for that final play may have been the difference.
