  • Offensive struggles continue for the Tigers, and Tyson Etienne having a hot start does not bode well for the Tigers.
  • Kobe Brown and Amari Davis got the offense going, as Mizzou made three in a row.
  • Smaller lineup working wonders for Mizzou, everyone becomes a threat.
  • Mizzou fas forced 6 turnovers in the half.
