Mizzou’s SEC Tournament run came to a close as expected. They weren’t upset in their first round and didn’t pull off the upset in the second.
I think if you’re Dennis Gates, you have to be pretty pleased with how things played out. Coming into the tournament a few areas of concern had popped up, mostly on the defensive side of things. But offensively the only thing that’s been working all the time has been Mark Mitchell. What hasn’t been working has been the consistency of Tamar Bates, Tony Perkins, and Anthony Robinson. So if anything, Mitchell being pushed off the court with what’s been deemed a non-serious knee injury, might be a good thing as it forced the other three to take on more of a primary scoring role.
