On the surface, Mizzou men’s basketball endured its roughest week of the season.
The Tigers went 0-2 against No. 4 Tennessee and No. 10 Texas A&M, squandering two humongous opportunities for Quad 1A wins. In a sport where quality wins are gold, they missed out on two of them this week.

In fact, it’s only the frame. The actual contents of the picture tell a slightly different story.
“We lost our last two games by a total of seven points to two top-10 teams, one on a last-second three,” head coach Dennis Gates said.
