Basketball is largely about ebbs and flows. The other team is going to score some, you’re going to score some, and the game usually comes down to who was able to string together more runs.
Missouri has an offense that, at least so far, has flowed a lot. And while the defense hasn’t been great, it’s been good enough to hold up for the Tigers until the next run. Yesterday Mizzou started on a big run, jumping out to a 16-0 lead, followed that run with a 9-0 run and had a 22 point lead before the second media timeout.
