It’s hard to gauge much from a team when they win by 40 points against a team who is clearly overmatched. Coming into the game last night, Missouri was going to be the heavy favorite, with a projected win percentage hovering around 88%, and Northern Kentucky did everything you hoped they would do. They put up a fight, they made Missouri sweat, and they went home with a loss.
The Tigers used a Jeremiah Tilmon dunk to key a 15-0 run that turned a tight game into an easy win, and they cruised* the rest of the way down the stretch.
