Missouri Tigers

Tennessee 63 – Missouri 37

This was actually a really tight game through three quarters. Missouri fell apart after being down only eight going into the fourth, though, and watched Tennessee nearly double their score.

Missouri’s offense continues to improve, though it could not hang with the Volunteers putting up 63. There is no shame in that, however. Missouri putting up 27 through three quarters had them in a competitive spot.

What happened in the fourth, however, is indeed embarrassing.

Impact Moving Forward

-Doubts about Odom

Last week’s surprise victory was an uplifting moment for Missouri, but the Tigers have sunk back to reality. Missouri somehow has to fix their defensive woes, which was supposed to be a strength under Odom. If the Tigers cannot, former DC Barry Odom’s tenure as head coach will be very short.
