After Missouri’s 18-point loss to Auburn on Wednesday, coach Cuonzo Martin heard a question about fatigue. Graduate transfer Kassius Robertson had just played 39-plus minutes for the third time in the past four games. Did Martin worry some of his players might wear down?
He did not deny the possibility, but he said there was little he could do about it.
“It is what it is right now,” Martin said.
Michael Porter Jr.’s possibly season-ending surgery and point guard Blake Harris’ mid-season transfer to N.C. State have shrunk the roster. Freshman center Jeremiah Tilmon’s foul troubles make him unreliable.
