Monday’s opening night victory against Division-I newcomer Southern Indiana taught the Missouri Tigers a lot about their men’s basketball program, which features a plethora of new talent coming together for the first time.
The result, although somewhat worrisome to few, offered the first opportunity for Tiger fans to see how their beloved team responded to adversity. Luckily for Mizzou, it’s highly unlikely a team will shoot 14-17 from beyond the arc in a half again. But regardless of what lies ahead, the Tigers added their first tally in the win column.
Mizzou head coach Dennis Gates was joined by guards DeAndre Gholston, Nick Honor and Tre Gomillion to meet with the media on Wednesday to discuss Monday’s result and preview the team’s next game against Penn on Friday.
