I’m not here for moral victories. If you’re looking for a column preaching how the plucky upstart Tigers ventured into a vaunted venue and hung around and didn’t get embarrassed, well maybe this isn’t for you.
Missouri had an opportunity to win what might end up as one of the best wins in the country yesterday and they failed. Last year they got one of those wins at Tennessee. This year they may not get the same opportunity. And here’s where it’s frustrating; they really had a chance.
Missouri opened the game 15-6, and still led 27-21 and 29-27 with a little over 4 minutes to play.
