No. 22 Mizzou regresses on offense, boards in ugly loss at Texas

The bad outweighed the good, and yes, it was ugly.

Freshly ranked and riding a four-game winning streak, No. 22 Missouri men's basketball stumbled and bumbled into its worst offensive showing of the year, losing Tuesday night at Texas, 61-53.

As the scoreline suggests, the game was a rock fight, leading to the Tigers' fewest points scored in a game this season as they shot 31.3% from the field and 18.2% from behind the 3-point line.

Both Mizzou (15-4, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) and Texas (13-6, 2-4) struggled to string together offense, but it was the host Longhorns closing the game on a 12-3 run that sank the visitors.
