Jeremiah Tilmon, Xavier Pinson, and Dru Smith have grabbed a lot of the headlines for the Missouri Tigers this year, and rightly so. Most nights, one of those guys is leading the team in scoring and probably making big shot after big shot. But what if two other players who don’t find their names in the headlines too often are just as responsible for the Tigers’ first top-10 ranking in almost a decade?
Those two players are Mitchell Smith and Kobe Brown.
Neither is going to pop off the stat sheet. If one scores in double-figures, that’s a huge scoring output from them, but what these two contribute to the this Mizzou team is winning plays.
