COLUMBIA, Mo. • It’s a busy day on the Mizzou beat. Some writing to finish this morning. The Live Mizzou Chat began at 11 a.m. Then, at 2:30, Kim Anderson will meet with the media, along with a few basketball players. (Look for a recap on the blog.)
But first, let’s get to Saturday’s visit from the 2-0 Connecticut Huskies. The last time Missouri played UConn in a major sporting event, Hasheem Thabeet and Kemba Walker dispatched the Tigers from the 2009 NCAA Tournament in the regional finals with a 82-75 win in Arizona.
