A year ago, Ty Wilmsmeyer and Ross Lovich were crucial pieces of a Missouri offense that swept Tennessee to open conference play. Now, they’re MU’s opponents to open SEC play.
Wilmsmeyer, Lovich, and the Hogs have started the season much stronger than Missouri. Arkansas (14-2) is ranked No. 1 in the country and has one of the best pitching rotations in the country. Wilsmeyer and Lovich have contributed their fair share to the efforts, too.
In contrast, the Tigers (9-8) just split a series with Purdue Fort Wayne. To say these two teams are on opposite sides of the college baseball spectrum is a fair assessment.
