No. 25 Missouri led by only two at halftime of its opener, rushing shots and getting outrebounded. Players knew they'd be hearing from new coach Frank Haith. "No chairs were thrown or anything," senior guard Kim English said. "But he challenged us." Forward Ricardo Ratliffe, the team's best inside player, had one rebound. "I knew I only had one rebound," Ratliffe said. "So, I was just waiting for him to say something about it." The second half was more like it, less ragged, too, as the Tigers pulled away for an 83-68 victory over Southeast Missouri State on Friday night.
