With a chance of redemption at their fingertips on Sunday, the Missouri Tigers let the game slip away to the Arkansas Razorbacks, losing 71-88 in CoMo. This loss extends Mizzou’s losing streak to three games, and they’re now 5-7 in the SEC.
The way Mizzou started the game didn’t seem to indicate any sign of slowing down. They shot extremely well, shut down Amber Ramirez, and showed the flashes of grittiness that’s been displayed all season long.
It was the second half, however, when the game got messy for Mizzou. After leading 41-34 to end the first half, the Tigers weren’t able to match or elevate their momentum from the first half.
