COLUMBIA, Mo. — Back to the Commonwealth it is. But this time, the Minutemen will be the visitors.
No. 20 Missouri will host Massachusetts at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, the return leg of a nonconference series that saw the Tigers play in the unconventional setting of Amherst’s foliage last season.
This time, the game will be played against the backdrop of Mizzou’s homecoming festivities. The 17th consecutive sellout crowd at Memorial Stadium will likely be watching a beatdown.
MU, 4-0 this season and 1-0 against Southeastern Conference opposition, holds just about every advantage possible over 0-3 UMass.
