It was bound to happen, right?
Missouri’s basketball program is the latest to have to halt their season, following Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, and South Carolina in the SEC already, with the Gamecocks already pausing twice. Things are a mess. Nearly 370,000 people have died already, and we’re losing between 3,000 and 4,000 people per day recently. Cases are out of control, hospitals are struggling to keep up, the vaccines are here but are slow to roll out.
And through it all, we’ve been playing basketball.
For Missouri, it’s been a mostly successful venture. There’ve been bumps recently, but overall it’s hard to argue with a 7-2 start with four Quad 1 wins.
