The New Jeremiah Tilmon: What’s Changed?

In the last two SEC games, Jeremiah Tilmon has been a dominant force for the Missouri Tigers like no other time in his college career.

Tilmon currently leads the SEC in Field Goal Percentage at 71% during conference play, and at times has looked unstoppable. So what has changed for the Mizzou big man? Is it health, or maybe just maturation? Perhaps it’s a combination of the two.

Coming into the season a new and improved Tilmon was advertised to Tiger fans. Before the opener against Oral Roberts, Mark Smith and Counzo Martin both praised Tilmon for how he was playing in practice during the offseason.
