The Missouri basketball team played well last week to pick up a minor upset victory on the road over Temple. The Tigers returned the upset after the Owls came to Missouri to win the year before.
Now Missouri plays Southern Illinois, which has a losing record 10 games in. The Tigers were upset at home less than two weeks ago against Charleston Southern, their last home game. They’ll need to keep the same intensity they had in Philadelphia and not let another game slip by like they have already this season. We’ve seen Mizzou play up to the level of its competition against Temple and Xavier and play down, too, this season.
