Missouri bests in-state rival, remains undefeated
Mizzou Tigers vs. Lindenwood Lions at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, MO. on Thursday, October 28, 2021. Hunter Dyke/Mizzou AthleticsDid a Missouri Tiger basketball team just beat an in-state rival? Are they now 3-0 for the first time since 2015-2016 when Sophie Cunningham was a freshman? The answer is a hard yes.

Here are a few takeaways from Wednesday night’s dub.
