Outside of Jordan Geist, Kassius Robertson and Jordan Barnett, Missouri (13-7, 3-4 SEC) shot only 25 percent from the field Wednesday. That’s just not enough scoring, and Mizzou fell 91-73 to No. 19 Auburn (18-2, 6-1 SEC).
Three major weaknesses that have tormented the Tigers all season long each showed themselves prominently: Jeremiah Tilmon got into foul trouble, again. Missouri turned the ball over way too much, again. Mizzou’s lack of a go-to scorer and ballhandler in clutch moments proved to be costly, again.
Missouri started the game in a rut, failing to score for nearly the first three minutes and missing their initial four shots.
