Oftentimes, it’s not about how you start, but rather, how you finish, and the Missouri Tigers (7-9) learned that the hard way on Saturday when they hosted Texas A&M (15-2) in Columbia.
“You’ve just got to do the things that you need to do to be successful from start to finish in games, and it’s just the consistency, we have to get better at that,” Missouri head coach Cuonzo Martin said after the game.
For the Tigers, they couldn’t have asked for a better start. They shot it relatively well, including a couple of clutch DaJuan Gordon threes, and were playing some stellar defense.
