Only because the legend couldn't drag his good-hearted traditionals across the finish line.  Coaching can only take you so far.

Players play.  We got damn lucky that game, especially at the end, but I'll take it.  Down 6 with 4 minutes to play, it was chewing nails time.

Why was MU lucky?
What occurred during that game that convinces you the result was "luck," as opposed to simply the better team finding a way to win on a day its two best players  - Matthews and McNeal - were way off, combining to shoot 6-for-26?
If anyone was lucky, it seems, it was the Aggies. Matthews and McNeal play their normal games that day and it's not close.

USU went cold in the last 4 minutes.  They had big MO, up by 6 points with about 4 minutes to go.  They didn't score again until under 30 seconds.  They missed one wide open three and another contested one.  Maybe fortunate is a better word.  MU, to your point, clearly the better team and better players.  On that particular day, however, we dodged a bullet.  Credit to us for pulling it out....it was nervous time, just like the Holy Cross game.
