Mizzou lost yesterday at home for the fourth time this season to South Carolina. They lost for the sixth time in seven games, and haven’t beaten a high major opponent since Caleb Grill was still in the lineup.
This, by all accounts, is a tough season. Missouri is now 8-8 and for the first time since Dennis Gates was handed the reigns almost two years ago, there is some dissension amongst the commentariat around Mizzou basketball, deserved or not.
I get it, this hasn’t gone as we’d hoped. There was some hypothesizing Gates was a wizard before the season started, and Mizzou basketball would be back with the snap of his fingers.
