Mizzou falls to Oklahoma 96-84

  • Summary

  • Here's a recap of the latest Mizzou Hub Postgame Show with Chris Pelikan and Kareem Rush, covering Missouri's 96-84 loss to Oklahoma: Game Overview The Tigers struggled defensively, allowing Oklahoma to score 96 points. Oklahoma, motivated by senior night and their NCAA tournament bubble status, played with high energy. Mizzou’s defense was sluggish early, allowing easy points in the paint. Freshman star for Oklahoma had a career-high 31 points. Foul trouble for Anthony Robinson hurt Missouri’s defensive presence. Concerns & Takeaways The Tigers have now lost two in a row, raising concerns about their readiness for the SEC Tournament. Defensive lapses were the main issue, as Mizzou thrives on forcing turnovers and transition play. The team looked far from its best, a contrast from its earlier Final Four-level potential. Unusual substitution patterns from Coach Dennis Gates were discussed, as he gave minutes to lesser-used players in a crucial game. The inconsistency from one game to another (previously holding Oklahoma to 58 points) was frustrating. Looking Ahead to Kentucky Mizzou needs a strong start and high energy at home on Senior Night. The focus should be on re-establishing their defensive identity. Players and coaches will likely have a tough week of practice with extra conditioning to address the defensive struggles. The Tigers still have a chance to close the season strong and build momentum for the SEC and NCAA tournaments. Final Thoughts Kareem Rush remains optimistic, believing Mizzou can bounce back against Kentucky and enter the postseason with confidence. Fans were encouraged to stay engaged and comment on their thoughts while also being reminded to support Rush’s bourbon brand, Educated Spirits.
