Once again, both the good and bad was on display for Missouri basketball on Saturday morning. The Tigers saw a monstrous lead fade away but regained its composure in the second half that helped fend off Loyola-Maryland 78-70 to improve to 5-2 on the season.
It was captains Nick Honor and Sean East II who helped the Tigers pull away totaling 13 of Missouri’s final 20 points over the final 10 minutes of play. In the second half, Honor was money from behind the arc knocking down all three of his 3-pointers in the second half, his last building a 13-point lead with under eight to play.
