Facing a desperate team on the road in conference play?
Yeah, that doesn’t sound ideal. Well, that’s what Mizzou had to deal with in Fayeteville yesterday — and it was U-G-L-Y.
Coming off the big upset win over then No. 15 Alabama on Saturday, you would have hoped to see, at the very least, a competitive game take place to show signs of legitimate progress.
None of that took place at Bud Walton Arena. 87-43 happened, the worst margin of loss for Mizzou under Cuonzo Martin.
Again, Missouri didn’t even have to win this one, but last night’s performance made it even more clear that the win over Alabama is looking like a major outlier.
Saturday vs. Alabama was the second-most efficient offensive SEC game for Mizzou under Cuonzo Martin. This is shaping up to be the worst. Four days.

This Tweet from Matt Watkins unfortunately says it all — just don’t let Kobe Brown beat you.

Honestly, there’s just not much to say about this game. It was a disaster, but I guess they just need to move on to Saturday at home against Texas A&M? I don’t know, it’s all they can do at this point.
Sam Snelling will attempt to do a Study Hall coming up later.
Perhaps Some Good Hoops News?
Let’s not forget, Aidan Shaw is an important piece coming in next season. On Wednesday, the four-star small forward from Stilwell, KS was named a Midwest Nominee for the McDonald’s All-American Game.
