The Mizzou Tigers came into Tuesday’s game looking for their fourth win in a row at home, and one that would give the Tigers a win streak for the first time since December. They accomplished their goal.
Mizzou defeated Ole Miss 71-68 at Mizzou Arena to give the Tigers back-to-back wins. Mizzou (13-13, 5-8 SEC) beat No. 11 Auburn at Saturday, also at home. With the win, the Tigers move to 10th in the SEC standings, which would be good enough to keep them out of the first-round games of the SEC Tournament if the season ended today.
