COLUMBIA, Mo. — Coming off the season’s first loss, the Missouri basketball team returned home Monday to face a pesky Wofford team that’s accustomed to springing upsets on the road. This was a veteran pack of Terriers with seniors who were on the court for past takedowns of high-major conference teams North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Seton Hall in last year’s NCAA Tournament, when the Terriers won 30 games and captured the Southern Conference.
On an another high-major team’s floor, the Terriers didn’t blink early and unleashed a 3-point barrage at the Tigers. But after a hot-shooting half for both teams, Mizzou’s defense restored order.
