You’d never know it by the firestorm of football news and rumors over the past few days — but there’s actually a basketball season going on!
To be fair, it’s been a full week since Cuonzo Martin’s Tigers last took the floor, which feels like an eternity in college basketball. As mentioned, the upheaval of football season has contributed to the lack of dialogue as well.
There’s also the fact that the Tigers, riding high into the Hall of Fame Classic, got barnstormed in both of their two best chances at a statement-making win.
It’s not as if Missouri was completely outclassed — far from it.
