COLUMBIA, Mo. — Eli Drinkwitz has tasted Boston before and found it rather bitter.
Nearly three years ago, his Missouri team faced Boston College in a road nonconference game. An emotional roller coaster of a game ended with an overtime loss and field-storming for the Atlantic Coast Conference program — a result on Drinkwitz's mind as the Tigers get a rematch with the Eagles.
No. 6 Mizzou (2-0) hosts No. 24 Boston College (2-0, 1-0 ACC) at 11:45 a.m. Saturday on the SEC Network. It’s the only game this week between two teams ranked in the AP Top 25, supplying MU with a test in the form of an intriguing, buzzworthy opponent.
