Jeremiah Tilmon stole the show in Missouri’s exhibition game against Kansas on Oct. 22, showing off his athleticism and post moves against one of the best teams in the country.
Now the Tigers just have to keep him on the floor.
Tilmon fouled out against the Jayhawks despite having seven fouls to use, two more than a regular college game allows.
“Dude how do you do that,” Missouri junior forward Kevin Puryear said. “Seven fouls in 13 minutes.”
Tilmon, a 6-foot-10 freshman, told reporters Tuesday that he also fouled out in Missouri’s Sunday scrimmage against Wisconsin, which was closed to the public, and knows it’s something he needs to work on if the team is to have a good season.
