When Jeremiah Tilmon trudged to the bench following the 6th time he’s fouled out on the season, and third game in a row, Missouri fans likely despaired as the chances for a comeback stepped toward and sat down on the bench.
There’s no question Mizzou is a better basketball team with Tilmon on the floor. He’s 6’10 250 lbs of skill and potential, he sucks down double teams and is capable of kickstarting the offense because of the attention he draws. If you read Matt’s preview, you read the evidence of what Tilmon is doing on the floor.
