COLUMBIA, Mo. — Where will Missouri men’s basketball’s lifeline come from?
The Tigers need one, sitting at 0-8 in Southeastern Conference play after losing to Arkansas at home Wednesday in a game that was much more lopsided than the final score suggested. A Saturday trip to Vanderbilt is winnable again, but no positive results are even remotely guaranteed for Mizzou these days.
“We have to be participants in our own rescue,” MU coach Dennis Gates said after the defeat to the Razorbacks, swapping his usual reserved optimism for something more urgent and critical.
The agency that the Tigers have when it comes to snagging an SEC win suggests some sort of change will be necessary.
