It was probably easy to miss considering the amazing news night Missouri football received, but Mizzou basketball quietly went out and dispatched an inferior opponent.
It might be easy to overlook because Missouri has played three sub-200 KenPom teams: Central Arkansas, Kennesaw State, and now UT-Arlington. Before UTA, the combined point differential in those games was just 16. It wasn’t always pretty, but the Tigers easily eclipsed their previous efforts with a slow, steady separation in the first half keyed with a 15-4 run over the course of about five minutes of game action.
The Tigers did what they do best so far.
