If Missouri wanted to end a 10-game losing streak, its offense was going to have to arrive against one of the best defensive teams in the Southeastern Conference. Unfortunately, that didn’t come to fruition as Missouri fell to Mississippi State 75-51 at Mizzou Arena.
For the Tigers, they drop to 8-16 and 0-11 in conference play while Mississippi State improves to 15-8 and 4-6. The Tigers’ 11-game losing streak in SEC play is now two away from the consecutive conference loss streak that MU experienced in Kim Anderson’s first year during the 2014-15 season.
Against the Bulldogs, Missouri experienced why the visitors from Starkville, Mississippi ranks in the top 20 in defense efficiency according to KenPom.
