In the post below this one I stated it would be a long winter in Columbia. Well, its four weeks later and it is. The Missouri Tigers are 7-13 overall and 1-6 in a mediocre SEC basketball conference and have lost six in a row. As I write this they are losing to Ole Miss (13-7 & 4-3) by 17 with six minutes to go in the game at Columbia.
This is not Mizzou coach Kim Anderson's fault. But, rather the a problem created by former coach Frank Haith who bolted to Tulsa after last season and left the cupboard bare. Anderson will rebuild the program but it is going to take some time.
Note: Mizzou ended up losing to Ole Miss 67-47 shortly after this was posted.

Terrible Loss in T-Town
My beloved Mizzou Tigers shot themselves in the foot last night in their efforts to make it to the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Mizzou went down to Tuscaloosa and lost to a terrible Alabama Crimson Tide hoops squad 80-73. The problem last night was Mizzou played no defense. Even in the weak South East Conference you have to do more than wave at the offensive player as he goes by.
Mizzou is now 7-7 in the SEC and 19-8 on the season. Mizzou has four games remaining before the conference tournament and by my count will need to win three of them and then go deep into the SEC tournament to get into the NCAA. I have my doubts that will happen based on what this team has done away from home this year. Can you spell N-I-T?
