If Friday March 10, 2023 feels like a long time ago, that’s because 21 straight losses to SEC basketball teams happened in between March 10, 2023 and last night.
Mizzou lost in the SEC Tournament to Alabama in the Semifinal on March 11th, 2023, after taking down Tennessee in the Quarterfinal. Missouri won 12 games against SEC opponents in 2023, but went 0-19 last year, and got sent to Auburn to open the SEC this year. So even the most optimistic of fans would have to admit we were likely going to have to wait for Dennis Gates and his team to get their first SEC win in a while with a home game against LSU.
