COLUMBIA, Mo. — It was, well, the perfect storm.
The hated rival Kansas … who was ranked No. 1 in the nation … playing at Mizzou Arena.
And so, when the Tigers won Sunday, there it was, the court-storming of court storms — an euphoric flood of fans.
Mizzou 76, KU 67.
And the play of Tamar Bates was instantly legendary.
Notably the first half played by Tamar Bates was breathtaking basketball. The Mizzou guard from Kansas City, Kansas, entered the day averaging 12.3 points per game.
