What a weird year, eh?
I’m not sure if I’ve covered a season with such a wide range of emotions as this one. From meager preseason expectations (from most outlets except this one), to an undefeated Non-Con slate which featured big wins over Oregon and Illinois, and destiny type comebacks versus Bradley and TCU. The crater at the beginning of the conference schedule which featured getting blown out by Tennessee at home, and an ugly road loss to Mississippi State.
Mizzou zoomed into the top 25 and stayed there until mid February, that included a spot in the top 10, and a projected 4 seed after a big win over Alabama.
