Coming off their third Top-10 win of the season and their first Top-10 ranking in nearly a decade, Mizzou basketball has been put back on the map this year, but those inside the program still think this team has an even higher ceiling than what they’ve shown so far.
“Mizzou basketball is all about getting tougher, getting better, and maxing out. We haven’t maxed out yet for a game, maybe in a half, but not in a game,” said Assistant Coach Cornell Mann when he addressed the media via Zoom call today.
That statement of course is in reference to the Tigers' performance on Saturday in which they dominated the SEC-leading Alabama Crimson Tide for 35 minutes before having to put out a blistering comeback that resulted in a once 20-point lead being just a 3-point victory when the buzzer sounded.
