Very few analysts thought TCU would put up a fight against the 12th ranked Missouri Tigers for today’s Big12-SEC matchup, but the Horned Frogs, who’ve been blown out in their last three games, came into Mizzou Arena with a chip on their shoulders.
Missouri tipped off against TCU with a slightly different look this afternoon — Javon Pickett replaced Mark Smith, who has struggled shooting the basketball of late. Thankfully, the change didn’t have too much of an effect on Missouri, who jumped out to an initial lead. Jeremiah Tilmon had very few problems getting on the scoresheet early, contributing 9 of the Tigers’ first 11 points.
