COLUMBIA, MO • The Tigers are a train.
That’s how Cuonzo Martin phrased it Friday.
Mizzou, in the midst of a five-game winning streak, is chugging along. No looking back. No slowing down.
Now, would the Tigers appreciate the chance to suddenly shift into a higher gear? You bet. But not if it means an engine overhaul. Because that would require a stop. And now is no time for that, no matter how talented the upgrade.
We’re talking, of course, about freshman phenom Michael Porter Jr.
When are we not?
This time seems different, though.
