COLUMBIA, Mo. • Midway through the second season of the Kim Anderson regime, the Missouri basketball team is making the wrong kind of history. The last time the Tigers lost as badly at home as Tuesday’s 94-61 defeat to Arkansas, a guy named Wilt Chamberlain was on the other team.
Yes, The Stilt.
The 33-point thrashing was the program’s worst at home since No. 2 Kansas, led by the 7-foot-1 future legend, beat the Tigers at Brewer Fieldhouse 91-58 on Feb. 16, 1957 — the year after Norm Stewart’s senior season playing for Mizzou.
A program that’s been playing games and keeping score since 1906 has only one home loss by a bigger margin.
