Tuesday night’s matchup with No. 3 Tennessee was by far Missouri’s biggest test of the season to date, and the differences between the Tigers and a Championship-contender was very present in a 87-63 loss.
Going into this one, it was evident stopping the Volunteers’ stars, Admiral Schofield and Grant Williams, would be key to having any sort of shot in pulling off a monumental upset. Well, Missouri did just that, limiting Schofield and Williams to 16 and four points, respectively on 7-for-19 shooting (36.8%).
The Tennessee duo average just over 28 points per game — about 33 percent of the team’s scoring load.
