I don’t want to bury our beat writers here but the last two road games have featured previews with predictions of 15+ point wins. When I saw those predictions I winced. I even commented on the last one.
Road wins are hard. Even for good teams.
Winning by 15 points or more is even harder. I checked, it’s happened 53 times in Mizzou Basketball history. 9 times since they joined the SEC. One of those already happened this year and even then I wrote about how unusual it was they won by that much.
To me the road trip to Vanderbilt always felt like a tricky one.
