Before Jordan Barnett became eligible after the season’s first nine games, Missouri coach Kim Anderson was careful not to heap expectations on the Texas transfer that were too great.
But with the Tigers riding a seven-game losing streak, Anderson’s tone has changed.
“We need a guy who’s a little bit selfish that can produce,” Anderson said. “I think Jordan has that potential to do that.”
If only Barnett — a junior forward from Christian Brothers College High in St. Louis, who is now MU’s leading scorer at 12.5 points per game — can find a mean streak.
