Seven years ago, UMKC pulled into and left with an upset of Missouri — a loss that soured segments of fanbase on the direction of the program.
On Tuesday night, the result was eerily similar, this time leaving with a 80-66 victory on a night where a stagnant offense put the Tigers in an early hole and woeful defense after halftime helped the Summit League visitors stretch their lead to 22 points with 11 minutes to go.
UMKC guard Evan Gilyard II piled up 28 points, an outburst powered by a 6 of 8 shooting performance from behind the arc.
