LEXINGTON, KY. • Missouri has cashed in its momentum for a two-game losing streak and next takes the floor at Rupp Arena to play the suddenly resurgent Kentucky Wildcats in a crucial game for SEC seedings.
In other words, it’s jaw-setting time.
Huh?
Mizzou’s defensive play slipped in Tuesday’s overtime loss to Ole Miss. On Friday, while all the focus was on a freshman who hasn’t played in 106 days, Tigers coach Cuonzo Martin was asked if his defense can possibly duplicate its performance from its win over these same Kentucky Wildcats three weeks ago.
