Missouri's Tough Loss to Oklahoma

0:00On March 4, Missouri's men's basketball team dropped the tough 16-point decision to Oklahoma in Norman on Tuesday night. The Sooners dominated from deep, draining 9-3 pointers while the Tigers managed just 6 for the game, most coming way too late. Turnovers plague Missouri all night, wiping out nearly 1 in every 4 possessions. Both squads started sloppy, with sloppy ball handling, but Oklahoma found its rhythm early, hitting 6 of 11-3s in the first half despite. Their own miscues. Missouri's usually reliable offense stalled out below 1-point per possession, a mark where they're now 0-7 this season. Fans are scratching their heads over the inconsistency, from clanging free throws to key players like Jaden Stone, going cold with low efficiency. Mark Mitchell showed flashes inside, but faced constant double teams and 4 turnovers. Oklahoma just played harder, building a 20-point lead before the late rally. Meanwhile, the SEC standings remain a jumble with Missouri at 10-7 tied with Vanderbilt Kentucky and Texas A&M. Arkansas could pull.

1:08Ahead tonight against Texas, and Saturday's slate features big ones like that rematch in Columbia plus Florida at Kentucky. A three seed stays in play if results break right, so keep an eye on those games while the Tigers shake off this one and push for momentum into.
