While a win over South Carolina doesn’t mean a whole lot, beating the Gamecocks by 30 certainly helps, doesn’t it?
With the victory on Tuesday night, the Missouri Tigers (21-7, 10-5 SEC) have guaranteed themselves a winning league record in the best conference in the country. The victory over the Gamecocks also pretty much guarantees that Missouri will have an unbeaten record outside of Quad 1 games — one of 11 teams in the country that can say that.
Mizzou also checks in at No. 12 in the NET rankings, 10th on KenPom, and 8th on Bart Torvik.
