COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri men’s basketball is going somewhere. Perhaps somewhere deep into March. Maybe even somewhere deep in the heart of Texas, where the Final Four will take place in San Antonio.
Very little seems impossible right now for the No. 15 Tigers, who rolled past No. 4 Alabama Wednesday with a 110-98 shootout win. Mizzou (20-6 overall, 9-4 Southeastern Conference) was unfazed by the Crimson Tide’s persistent perch on the precipice of staging a comeback and unrelenting in its offense.
Sealing the deal against Alabama (21-6, 10-3) only continues to raise MU’s ceiling — and feed imaginations about just how far these Cats from Ol’ Mizzou will dance.
