COLUMBIA, Mo. — Here’s the good news for Missouri’s sinking basketball season: The Tigers are done with rivalry games.
It’s just one of several troubling trends for Cuonzo Martin’s program, but another rivalry game turned into another decisive loss on Tuesday. This one wasn’t the 44-point bloodletting that Arkansas inflicted on the Tigers last month, but the latest edition of the Battle Line Rivalry was never much of a battle at Mizzou Arena. With another prolific start, the Razorbacks blitzed the Tigers from the opening tip. The rest was just details in the carnage of a 76-57 Arkansas victory.
