COLUMBIA, Mo. — There are going to be games for the Missouri basketball team when perimeter shots don’t fall and turnovers and fouls spike. Wednesday was one of those nights.
Playing their second game in 48 hours, the Tigers labored on the offensive end but again played enough defense to dispatch a mid-major foe from Mizzou Arena, beating Morehead State 70-52 in the second game of the Tigers’ home portion of Hall of Fame Classic. Mizzou heads to Kansas City for the premier games in the event, facing Butler on Monday at the Sprint Center then Oklahoma or Stanford on Tuesday.
