Missouri's defense is a combination of illegal hand checks and flopping. It's no prettier than KSU's. No, it's far worse. This game has been Frank Martin's dream, just throw bodies everywhere, pick up the pieces for rebounds/points where you can, and hope the officials don't have the spine to call 40 fouls on one team. No, it's not far worse. Mizzou's guards hack non stop. English hacks constantly down low, but refs don't seem to call it because he's so much smaller than his defender. And Missouri flop flops flops on the plays they don't hand check. If I had to watch one team play, however, I'd pick Missouri because they actually run an offense. Well yeah, I'd describe the way my rival plays defense much the same way(although substitute the "English hacking/flopping" for "Big men murderizing anyone who enters the paint"). K-State's ugliness is a bit more statistically backed, they foul the bejeezus out of everyone, and attempt the offensive equivalent of murder by butter knife with the awful shooting and hammering on the offensive glass. Sucks that Mizzou can't beat that. Guess it pays to have depth and some better big men who can rebound.
