GAME THREAD: Mizzou visits West Virginia

15:53 1H: Missouri has fallen behind 8-2 at the first media timeout. The common theme of almost every first half is the Tigers’ struggling to score, and we’re seeing that tonight. Mitchell Smith has missed a couple of decent looks from deep, and the Mountaineers haven’t allowed anything besides a Reed Nikko turnaround jumper to fall.

As Josh pointed out in his preview (linked below), West Virginia is arguably the best team Missouri has on its schedule. The Mountaineers are always a solid defensive squad, but this year’s squad is particularly stingy.

The Tigers are definitely having a disappointing season overall, but they’ve shown a penchant to play up to better competition.
