What A Terrible Sad News: Vols WR Set On Target To….

Still looking for their first win in conference play, the Missouri Tigers stood opposite one of college basketball’s best squads as they played host to the No. 5-ranked Tennessee Volunteers, but despite a strong first half, it wasn’t enough to overpower their visitors.

Tuesday night’s SEC East showdown at Mizzou Arena featured two polar-opposite teams. One was seeking to remain atop the rankings in the NCAA, while the other was still without a conference win.

Spoiler alert: the Missouri Tigers weren’t the former.

Still, they took center stage against the second-best team in the Southeastern Conference — on paper, that is — with a chance to nab a win on a night that otherwise held no implications.

In other words, with little to play for, barring no holds was the name of the game for Missouri, and despite its valiant first-half effort — securing a lead and holding Tennessee to under 30 points — it wasn’t able to outlast its visitors for the second half.

A late run sparked by Dalton Knecht allowed the Volunteers to keep up with the Tigers and then surpass them, and by the eight-minute mark in the second half, the game was all but finalized.
