COLUMBIA, MO. • In the seven-day stretch since his team’s last game, Missouri basketball coach Kim Anderson and his staff spent the holiday break re-evaluating their team’s first 11 games to figure out how to approach the rest of the season. With the Tigers riding a three-game losing streak heading into Thursday’s visit from Lipscomb, there’s not much Anderson can count on from his team, other than a suddenly resurgent Kevin Puryear. The sophomore power forward regained his place as the team’s top scorer with his 17-point performance last week against Illinois and gave Anderson the kind of consistent, efficient effort inside the Tigers could use from others on the perimeter.
