I would typically give a quick opinion on the game before I get into my takeaways, but we all feel the same way after watching the game. So, let’s get straight to the important stuff.
Given the stakes, that’s probably the worst loss of Barry Odom’s tenure at Mizzou.
There were never any real expectations in 2016. The loss at Purdue in 2017 was disappointing, but it didn’t prevent something meaningful from being accomplished. The “bad” losses last year — at least — came against quality opponents on the road.
Include all those ingredients and it add up to a truly gut-wrenching loss.
