It is once again game day for the Missouri Tigers basketball team, a statement that kind of reads/sounds like I’m being forced to write/speak it at gun point. I promise I’m not. But game days in 2021 do harbor an odd sort of dread, don’t they?
It’s no secret to anyone here that Missouri is capital-B bad without much prospect for hope in the near future. Tuesday’s game against Eastern Illinois represents the last game they’ll play against a non-KenPom top 100 opponent until March, when they’re set to face South Carolina and Georgia in the same week.
