We’ve made it, the end of the regular season.
Today marks the end of Missouri’s 2020-21 regular season. One which saw the Tigers ranked for 11 straight weeks, largely from the play of Missouri’s five seniors. Together they’ve played over 60% of the minutes in a season which has seen Missouri basketball mean something again.
Beyond the top 25 ranking — for the first time since early 2014, and for the longest time since 2012-13 — Missouri has won 15 games in an abbreviated schedule. If you add in two likely wins against Vanderbilt and Texas A&M which were cancelled due to COVID interruptions, and a few gimme home wins against mid major opponents, the Tigers are very likely already 20 game winners already in a normal year.
