COLUMBIA, MO. • If Tuesday was indeed Kim Anderson’s final game coaching at Mizzou Arena, his Tigers went out with a whimper.
Facing a Texas A&M team they had on the ropes three weeks ago, the Tigers were barely competitive in the rematch, a historic 60-43 loss in the team’s home finale. Make that historically bad. It was MU’s lowest scoring and worst shooting home game in Mizzou Arena, which opened in 2004. It was the team’s lowest scoring home game overall since 1982 — before Division I instituted the shot clock.
The last time Missouri scored fewer points on its home floor, Norm Stewart had the Tigers intentionally hold the ball for more than six minutes in a game of keep-away from Kansas.
