COLUMBIA, MO. • The Mizzou Arena locker room might be a bit cramped this year. Cuonzo Martin’s second Missouri roster is made up of a whopping 18 players, including five walk-ons and two transfers who can’t play until 2019-20. The extra bodies will help the Tigers maintain fresh legs through the year, Martin said Wednesday, and gives his staff multiple teams for scrimmages during practices.
The Tigers held their second official preseason practice on Wednesday, but not all 18 were on the court. Sophomore forward K.J. Santos is out indefinitely with a left foot injury.
