COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri men’s basketball has spent almost all of 2024 on some kind of significant streak.
To start the calendar year, the Tigers suffered through 20 consecutive losses — all 19 games against Southeastern Conference opponents last season and this season’s opener against Memphis. But since that defeat, Mizzou has pieced together a 10-game winning streak.
The streak hit the double-digit mark Tuesday with MU’s intense, nervy 83-72 win over Jacksonville State.
It took a chippy turn in the physical contest to trigger an overdue 13-0 run for Mizzou that secured the victory within the final six minutes.
