Missouri has lost games this season, but nothing lately like what happened on Wednesday as Auburn rolled 91-73. At the media timeout with 7:45 remaining, the pep band broke into the “Missouri Waltz,” and that’s what several fans did, right out of Mizzou Arena.
With a loss by Florida earlier in the evening, No. 19 Auburn became the SEC bully, and Mizzou has the bruises to prove it. This was a beatdown, and following the uninspiring effort at Texas A&M last weekend, Missouri owns its first losing streak in this season of rejuvenation.
Cuonzo Martin and the Tigers now must work to make Wednesday’s outcome a gut punch and not a trend.
