Let’s all stare at and address the elephant in the room.
What does Tuesday night mean for Missouri’s chances of making the NCAA tournament? Or it’s seeding in the SEC tournament. Just how screwed is this bunch?
It goes without saying: Losing to an Ole Miss team mired in a seven-game skid, led by an interim coach and perched at No. 122 in the Ratings Percentage Index is…not ideal.
Well, MU didn’t heed that advice. Instead, poor ball-handling, defensive breakdowns, ill-timed misses at the free-throw line and woeful shooting in overtime dragged the Tigers into the undertow for a 90-87 loss.
