In Music City, Mizzou finally found the right note.
After Thursday’s slate of SEC contest began with two thrillers, game No. 3 was no different. Between two teams that had fallen into a funk, Mizzou emerged victorious 85-73 in another frantic SEC clash.
There were no last-second shots, but the Tigers came up clutch in the closing frames. Mizzou was without Mark Mitchell for the entire second half — per a team spokesman, he was ruled out with a knee injury. With arguably their best source of offense on the sidelines, the Tigers needed others to step up, and that’s exactly what happened.
