For nine consecutive games to begin the 2022 season, Mizzou pretty handily forced its will upon every opponent in its path en route to the program’s best start since the 2013-14 season.
On Saturday, however, the school from the west and last year’s national champion, the kansas jayhawks, flipped the script of the Tigers in a 95-67 victory in the Border Showdown.
“I’m not happy about the outcome,” Mizzou men’s basketball head coach Dennis Gates said. “Our players aren’t happy. Our fans aren’t happy.”
A team known for its high-scoring, up-tempo offense and turnover-happy defense, Mizzou, failed to display any of those signs throughout the 28-point defeat.
