BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Mizzou's home streak ends
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEXAS A&M head coach Mark Turgeon pumps his fist after a basket late in the second half of the Texas A&M vs. Missouri game Wednesday. Texas A&M won the game 77-74.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Texas A&M found a way to win on the road and at one of the toughest places to play in the Big 12, too.
"We just really executed. We did what we had to do," coach Mark Turgeon said. "I'm really proud of my group to break this streak."
David Loubeau scored all but five of his 17 points in the second half, and the Aggies held Missouri without a basket for nearly 11 minutes of the second half, ending the Tigers' 32-game homecourt winning streak with a 77-74 victory Wednesday night.
Donald Sloan had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Khris Middleton had 16 points for the Aggies (16-6, 5-3 Big 12), who had been 1-4 on the road this season. Missouri coach Mike Anderson is 0-4 against Texas A&M, the only 12 school he has not defeated.
"We hope it continues a few more years," Turgeon said. "Mike's beat a lot of people, and he'll probably beat A&M soon."
Kim English had 15 points, and Laurence Bowers added 11 points and 10 rebounds for Missouri (16-6, 4-3), which lost at home for the first time since Feb. 26, 2008, against Oklahoma State. The winning streak was halted two shy of the school record from 1988-90 at the old Hearnes Center.
Missouri had been 13-0 at home this year, winning by an average of
28 points. The streak was tied with Siena for the second-longest in the nation behind Kansas' 54-game run.
A 20-3 run by Texas A&M
turned a 55-46 deficit into a 66-58
lead with 2:15 to play. Marcus Denmon's three-pointer made it 5:46 with 12:43 to go and Missouri's next basket came from J.T. Tiller in the lane with 1:55 to go.
The fickleness of the recruits isn't surprising. These are high school kids who may not know for sure what they want.
COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The result of all the changes in the program isn't surprising either. The incoming recruiting class is weak.
It's weak because there's no depth. Only Kansas State brought in fewer recruits than Kansas in the Big 12, and Bill Snyder signed five junior college players who are more ready to contribute than all the high school seniors Turner Gill signed.
The class also lacks star power. Only wide receiver Keeston Terry and running back Brandon Bourbon are four-star recruits, according to Rivals. No Kansas commitment, including Terry and Bourbon, got better than a three-star ranking according to ESPN's recruiting reports.
This class probably won't have a considerable effect on next year's team. Recruiting services can be inaccurate on players — see Dezmon Briscoe's and Todd Reesing's three-star ratings — but they don't miss often. Five-star high school players generally have the talent to succeed as college players.
We must consider the situation Gill came into. He had two months to essentially re-recruit some 30 players, and that's considering the holidays and this last week, when very little was still up in the air.
The recruits who spoke to Gill vouched for his personality. Recruits said Gill showed a genuine interest in making them better people as well as players.
Though it didn't reap huge rewards, it did work. Terry said it meant it a lot that Gill visited him
a few days after he was hired.
With the help of recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell, who came from the University of Illinois, Gill stole Bourbon directly from Stanford and indirectly from Notre Dame.
Quarterback Quinn Mecham, who signed in the middle of December, will push sophomore Kale Pick and sophomore Jordan Webb in spring practice.
Mecham and Bourbon said the opportunity to play was a factor to commit to Kansas. Gill's recruited for a long time and knows how it works. With more than six weeks to recruit Kansas' class of 2011, Gill will make his mark. The talent in next year's class will improve.
He just needs a little bit more time to get it done.

RECRUITS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
For instance, both Gill and
cate with people", Gill said. "He has a strong desire to speak and I think he has an opportunity to build a relationship in a deeper way."
Although selling recruits on Kansas may be easier than during his previous tenure, Mitchell insisted that the job isn't any less demanding.
Mitchell cited the need to recruit more offensive linemen in upcoming years. The layhawks have only one offensive lineman in their current recruiting class.
Still, Gill and Mitchell expressed their satisfaction with the incoming crop of players. And after all, Mitchell — or any Kansas coach — isn't attempting to sell a downtridden football program anymore.
"You're looking at a team that's coming off a 5-7 record last season," Mitchell said. "When we first came here, I think it was 0-11. It's not broken by any stretch of the imagination."
