Frank Haith seemed fairly calm for a coach under fire, and one who shed his sports coat and tie while willing his team forward. No. 22 Missouri's second-half surge no doubt had a lot to do with it. During a dismal first half Haith said he "almost bust a blood vessel." After the Tigers rallied from 13 points down in the second half and held off South Carolina 71-65 on Tuesday, the coach said he was relieved that a lengthy NCAA investigation implicating Haith in recruiting violations at Miami was apparently about to end.
