Mizzou, something happened around the time they wrestled Cornell out east, and it just broke all of them.

Yep, wrestled a close dual with WV and then lost to Cornell the same weekend. Ever since then the team regressed.

The parity in the second tier teams is pretty impressive:

If only Nebraska didn’t get screwed at 174 by Starocci. And Missouri as a team has HEW. 

It feels a little weird here. On one hand, Nebraska has 5 AAs, 2nd most behind Penn State. On the other hand, watching Lovett lose in the fashion he did plus Pinto doing Pinto stuff and costing himself AA status has definitely let some air out of the balloon. Let's also not forget the curious decision of Smith choosing bottom against Barnett in the 2nd period despite Smith getting the 1st TD and leading 3-1. I'm not saying Barnett doesn't find a way to win but Smith took his advantage and decided to just throw it in the trash.

Isn’t this the story with Mizzou every year? Every year they get pumped up coming into the tourney and invariably under perform (based on seeds and expectations).

No … it’s not the story EVERY year.

However, this years Big 12 & especially NCAA performance makes one wonder what’s going on within the Program.
