The game developed differently this time. There were less turnovers, and the Tigers played at their preferred pace for the entire game. But the story was still a familiar one for Missouri and its fans.
The Tigers failed to hold on for what could have been their best victory of the season despite holding a double-digit lead in the second half.
Missouri (12-14, 3-11 SEC) lost to Florida (16-11, 8-6 SEC) 64-60 in Gainesville on Saturday. The team held a 12-point with 17 minutes left in the second half, but a Jeremiah Tilmon foul ignited an immediate reversal in the course of the game.
