COLUMBIA, Mo. — For the second time in seven days, Missouri took down a nationally ranked opponent Wednesday. And, again, it wasn’t particularly close.
For just the third time in program history, the Tigers defeated Kentucky, opening Southeastern Conference play with an 89-75 victory over the No. 19 Wildcats at sold-out Mizzou Arena.
In the fourth chapter of a brutal five-game stretch, the Tigers won their third straight — and can finish what once seemed like an insurmountable month of games with a 4-1 record if they beat Arkansas next Wednesday.
