Oh, what a difference a year can make. The Missouri Tigers, led by new head coach Dennis Gates, have offered fans an exciting brand of basketball throughout the first four games of the season. The team is currently averaging 94 PPG, 21 APG, and only 12 turnovers per game, which cements itself as one of the most efficient offensive teams in the country.
Before we dive further into how and why that is the case, let’s rewind. In 2021, the Tigers were led by Cuonzo Martin and put together an underwhelming offensive experience. Here are some stats from last season:
- 65 PPG (309th out of 358)
- 12 APG
- 42% FG
- 28% 3PT
- 14 TPG
- 0.
