On the 8th day of December, the Mizzou Tigers gave to me— A MEN’S HOOPS ROAD WIN!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. The Tigers won a game again, y’all. On the road. Against a very good defensive team that has three wins over power five programs. The three game losing streak is over. Perhaps we are moving past that (whispers) Charleston Southern abomination.

Here’s hoping the wins continue!

Some highlights:

Javon had a sneaky good performance off the bench, and I’m so happy for him.

Love to see it!
