If Missouri basketball ends up turning around its season and finding a way into a postseason tournament, Saturday’s blowout win at Texas A&M might be looked back on as the turning point.
While the Tigers (10-6, 1-3 SEC) have a ways to go dig themselves out of their rough start to conference play, Saturday’s 66-43 win reminded MU coach Cuonzo Martin of how his team looked when the Tigers were 9-3 at the end of December.
Martin said Missouri’s blowout loss to No. 3 Tennessee “took something out of our guys” because MU had a strong start against the Vols before imploding towards the end of the first half.
