So far this season, Mizzou has been a very streaky team. They've been blown out by Kansas and Illinois, but also started conference play 2-0 against Kentucky and defending national champion Florida. At LSU, the the Tigers went scoreless for over five minutes to start the game, then proceeded to drop 43 points in the second half alone.
The game was a reflection of how the entire season has gone for Dennis Gates and company, revealing a team that can play up to anyone in the country, and just as easily play down to anyone as well.
