Down two players in their regular rotation and coming off a COVID pause, the Missouri Tigers (7-7) had their backs up against the wall when they welcomed No. 15 Alabama (11-4) to Mizzou Arena today.
With the daunting task of facing the No. 15 team in America in front of them, Missouri Head Coach Cuonzo Martin’s message to his guys was simple, “You have to dig deep, and believe you’re good enough.”
Naturally, the Crimson Tide, the defending SEC Champions and odds on favorites to repeat, were heavy favorites coming into this game, but a shorthanded Tigers team responded to their head coach’s message and came out firing.
