Missouri can't buy a bucket
The Tigers' offense was absolutely pitiful in the first half. With Carroll benched because of foul trouble at the six-minute mark, Anderson's troops looked a bit confused without their leader.
Missouri's last field goal came with 7:27 remaining in the half. On one possession, the Tigers missed three fairly good shot attempts. Missouri shot 24 percent from the field in the half.
In the post, the Tigers were pounded and outrebounded 30-15. Anderson will have to scheme quite the game plan for Missouri to compete in this one as they trail 30-16.
On the season, the Tigers average 84.2 points per game. Sixteen in the first half doesn't put them on a good track to follow the high-scoring trend.
