COLUMBIA, MO. • We interrupt your Super Bowl party for some next-day thoughts on Mizzou basketball’s first home win of 2019, Saturday’s 76-66 victory over Vanderbilt, a game the Tigers needed badly as they next head to No. 1 Tennessee on Tuesday.
Through the first four weeks of conference play, the SEC is divided into three tiers. Sitting in first class are the top-ranked Volunteers (8-0), Kentucky (7-1), LSU (7-1) and South Carolina (6-2).
Then you’ve got six teams all at 4-4, a fairly interchangeable bunch that are capable of winning or losing just about any night: Auburn, Mississippi State, Florida, Ole Miss, Alabama and Arkansas.
