For months Missouri basketball fans have been more obsessed with chemistry than Walter White.
If and when Michael Porter Jr. returned to the rotation, how would that impact the chemistry of a team that managed to win 20 games without him? Thursday’s 62-60 loss to Georgia was a small sample size, but it underscored those questions on two fronts.
1. How would Porter’s return affect the Tigers on the floor? Would he disrupt the offensive flow? Would he unsettle the roles that became established over four months?
2. How would Porter’s return impact team morale, especially if the Tigers struggle and lose to the bracket’s 12th seed — a team Mizzou clobbered by double digits without Porter two months ago?
