The morale and energy levels inside Mizzou Arena were through the roof just before tipping off Missouri’s Senior Night matchup against the LSU Tigers. Missouri had seemingly just silenced a recent cold streak this Wednesday on the road versus Florida, giving them some much needed inspiration before this afternoon’s contest. “[Last game] has given us more momentum...I feel like it gave us confidence,” Jeremiah Tilmon said in yesterday’s press conference.
Needless to say, the momentum Missouri was riding came up just a tad short.
The opening minutes of today’s competition looked like something of a track meet, with both sides matching one another’s pace.
