Missouri basketball is among the best in stealing the ball in the SEC

We already know the Missouri basketball team is really good at shooting free throws.

The Tigers rank first in the conference in free-throw percentage at 77.3 percent, and it’s probably going to go up the way Mizzou has been knocking them down the past four games.

But Missouri also is really good at playing defense. And in particular, the Tigers are picking up steals at a high rate.

Mizzou is third in the conference in steals with 148 total, tied with Ole Miss. The Tigers are getting 7.4 steals a game, which trails No.
