When last we saw the SLU Billikens, they were overcoming a sluggish start to dispatch Kansas City 62-46 back on Dec. 23 at Chaifetz Arena.
When last we saw the Missouri Tigers, they were crumbling in the second half of their 78-63 loss last Tuesday at Mississippi State.
Both teams have been on pause due to COVID-19 issues, joining a slew of Division I schools on hiatus.
How rusty will the Billikens (7-1 this season) and Tigers (7-2) look when they come back? How many games will it take them to regain peak form?
Will they ever regain the swagger they demonstrated before the holidays?
