Missouri finally found a lightning to pair with their thunder
Denny Medley-Imagn ImagesThe Tigers came back from a 10-0 run to start the game from Tennessee, and won a crucial game to nearly seal their spot in the NCAA Tournament. The 73-69 win over the No. 22 ranked Vols not only unlocked a bubble spot for Mizzou, but it also uncovered a lighting to pair with Mark Mitchell's thunder.
T.O. Barrett, who only recently took over the starting point guard role, dropped a career-high 28 points in the upset win. Mitchell came through with 23 points as well, as the dup combined to score 51 of the Tigers' 73 points. It seems like the Tigers might finally have another elite offensive option as they head into March.
