COLUMBIA, MO. • After breaking free from a losing streak, Missouri’s next mission is to keep Arkansas from doing the same. The Tigers are coming off a defensive masterpiece at Texas A&M, but they face a different kind of challenge tonight in Fayetteville, albeit against a Razorbacks team on its first four-game losing skid since the fall of 2010.
That’s right: The last time Arkansas lost four straight games, Mike Anderson was in his final season at Missouri and Cuonzo Martin was coaching at Missouri State.
LIKELY STARTING LINEUPS
Gafford probably would have been a first-round NBA draft pick had he left Fayetteville after his freshman season but instead returned to school for another year to scare the bejesus out of SEC rims.
