It seems like it’s the same script every game for Missouri men’s basketball during Southeastern Conference play. Wednesday night was no different, with an 83-74 loss to No. 24 Florida.
Multiple times, the Tigers (8-20, 0-15 Southeastern Conference) had a chance to take the lead against the Gators (20-8, 10-5) at the Stephen O’Connell Center in Gainsville, Florida, and each time failed.
Coming out of the half, and like many games on the road before (Alabama, Texas A&M, South Carolina and Ole Miss, specifically) the Tigers stormed out strong on a 10-2 run fueled by Nick Honor that included a floater and a 3-pointer, which was followed by a Sean East II jumper making it a one-point game.
