It feels like we’ve hit a bit of a slog in the 2020-2021 Missouri basketball season.
Of course, if you’re going to be in a slog, you’d prefer to be ranked in the top 20. But after the excitement of the first few weeks — with wins over three likely tournament teams, capped by a third straight Braggin’ Rights victory — things have definitely petered off. Missouri hasn’t played in 10 days and will have to wait another eight days before SEC play begins against Tennessee. Over this stretch of almost three weeks, with only one game on the docket, it would be easy to get in a rut and be happy about everything the Tigers have accomplished so far.
