COLUMBIA, Mo. – Xavier looks to pass its second true road test of the season Tuesday night at Missouri (7 p.m., ESPNU).
Missouri 41, Xavier 27, HALFTIME – College basketball road games require precision, intensity and focus for 40 minutes.
The first 20 minutes Tuesday night at Missouri, Xavier lacked all three of those things.
The Musketeers turned the ball over 11 times in the first half and let the Tigers basically shoot the lights out inside Mizzou Arena.
Xavier went on a 9-0 run early to take a 9-3 lead, to which Missouri promptly responded with a 17-0 run.
