For the first time in a long time, Tennessee was coming off of a loss in conference play. However, they had no issues bouncing back in Columbia tonight against Missouri.
Missouri matched Tennessee in the opening minutes, going toe to toe with the Volunteers to keep things tied at 15 each. Eventually though, the Tennessee offense that we had grown used to seeing over the last several weeks came to play.
Victor Bailey Jr. made a three, then followed that with two more baskets for seven quick points. Kennedy Chandler made a living at the rim to close the second half, pushing Tennessee out to an eight point lead.
