Terrence Phillips key in Mizzou basketball’s win over UCF | The Kansas City Star

Each game provides a new discussion about Missouri’s point guard situation.

In Thursday’s 62-59 Mizzou win over Central Florida, which snapped a 36-game losing streak in true road games for MU, coach Cuonzo Martin leaned on Terrence Phillips, an incumbent starter turned occasional bench-warmer turned — at least for one game — Mizzou’s crunch-time point guard.

Against UCF, Phillips only attempted two shots in 20 minutes, which was the most playing time of Missouri’s three primary point guards — Phillips, Jordan Geist and starter Blake Harris. Both of Phillips’ shots came during the game’s most tense moments.
