Missouri goes to Mississippi this weekend with a much-needed weapon expected to return to the lineup for the first time in weeks.
Tigers coach Cuonzo Martin said on his weekly radio show that barring a setback, sophomore guard Mark Smith will return from a left ankle sprain on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels. Smith has missed six games after injuring the ankle in the closing minutes of the Tigers’ Jan. 23 loss at Arkansas, and his absence has been felt.
But where has Missouri missed Smith the most?
The Tigers are 2-4 without him and are somehow scoring more in spite of the fact that they’re missing their second-leading scorer and best shooter.
