The recurring nightmare known as Missouri’s basketball season continued Saturday with another terror on the road. The Tigers extended their losing streak to eight games with a 92-73 defeat at Arkansas and have lost 28 consecutive games on their opponents’ home floor.
While Mizzou’s three previous Southeastern Conference games were mostly competitive from tip-off to the final buzzer, Saturday’s game at Bud Walton Arena was all Razorbacks, all the time. Mizzou (5-11, 0-4 SEC) never had the lead and trailed by double digits for the game’s final 28 minutes, 11 seconds.
Arkansas (13-4, 2-3) came in having lost two consecutive home SEC games — an extreme rarity in Fayetteville — but Anderson figured the Razorbacks would come out inspired to break out of their recent funk.
