Last season the Missouri game was a bit of a turning point as Purdue won in an unexpected blowout. This year it is a turning point as the Boilers desperately need to regain momentum after an 0-2 start. To learn more about the Tigers I spoke with Pete Scantlebury of Rock M Nation for this week’s Q&A.
1. Purdue was surprisingly dominant last season in Columbia, then Missouri got it together to wins 8 of its last 9 coming into this one. What changed?
Things didn’t come together for Missouri immediately after the Purdue game, but what did happen is the Tigers began to become competent on defense while the offense hit another gear.
