COLUMBIA, Mo. — Tuesday was a historical night at Mizzou Arena. With his 32 points against Mississippi, Missouri guard Xavier Pinson became the first Tigers player in 14 years to score 60 points over consecutive games.
How often has that happened for a Mizzou player in recent history? Not much lately. Only three players since the turn of the century have scored 60 points over two games. It's happened 32 times over the last 60 years, but three players account for 15 of those instances. If you know your Mizzou basketball history, those three players should be obvious.
