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!

Javon had a sneaky good performance off the bench, and I’m so happy for him.
Season-high 16 points, five boards and tenacious defense all night long.
