Missouri rallied from down 17 in the first half to claim a second half lead over Georgia, but the Tigers did not have enough left in the tank to complete a comeback, falling 75-68 at Mizzou Arena on Saturday.
In the end, while Mizzou had moments of brilliance in this game, Georgia was far more consistent throughout the 40 minutes of play, a trend that has plagued the Tigers throughout this 2023-24 campaign.
“We only led for three minutes and 50 seconds of that games,” Dennis Gates said. “We weren’t able to put them in distress and they played with the lead for the majority of the game.
