Mizzou Volleyball’s run in the NCAA Tournament ended Thursday in a 3-1 loss to the SEC champions Kentucky (20-25, 20-25, 25-16, X). The Tigers lost all three matches to the Wildcats this season and have not beaten them in their last fourteen matchups, a streak dating back to the Kreklow era in 2016.
Mizzou took an early 7-5 lead with the help of three Mychael Vernon kills, and the offense as a whole was highly efficient to begin the set.

But Kentucky began to force the Tigers out of system and make them take low quality attacks, going on a 9-2 to run move ahead 14-9.
