COLUMBIA, Mo. • The Missouri Tigers got a closer look at college basketball’s mountaintop Tuesday night at Mizzou Arena.
Or should we say they experienced Rocky Top? Third-ranked Tennessee rolled into Boone County fresh from its 96-50 demolition of Georgia. The Volunteers came with a talented, deep and well-seasoned team.
Now this is what a real Final Four contender looks like. This is the sort of team coach Cuonzo Martin wants to build at Missouri.
This game allowed the Tigers to gauge their progress in Year 2 of Martin’s regime.
