The Missouri Tigers are struggling. Once predicted to be as high as a three seed in this year’s March Madness tourney, Missouri is now facing the possibility of dropping out the AP top 25, a serious plunge that’s occurred within the last 10 days.
So, what’s going on?
One the Tigers’ biggest difference makers this year, Jeremiah Tilmon, has been out the last two games due to a death in the family. Missouri has dropped three straight games to Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Georgia, the last two of which were without Tilmon. While we all mourn the loss for Tilmon and wish him and his family the best, Tiger fans desperately want to see their starting big man back on the hardwood.
