It’s pretty incredible how a few days can change an entire fanbase’s outlook on the season, huh?
At the beginning of the week it was 2020, and things were looking up, up, up for Mizzou basketball. The Tigers were undefeated and considered a challenger for the top of the SEC. They had the conference’s best non-con resume, and a date with Tennessee to determine the early favorite for the top of the league.
At the end of the week it’s 2021, and Missouri fans are caught in a doom spiral, fair or not. The walloping at the hands of Tennessee was about as demoralizing as a loss could be and revived almost all of the concerns that have plagued Missouri’s last two seasons.
