Marcus Denmon has been one of the best players in the Big 12 the entire season for the Missouri Tigers.
He was even recognized as one of 30 players listed on the Naismith Award List over the weekend.
But it is possible the Tigers might have to defend their perfect record on Norm Stewart Court at Mizzou Arena in Columbia without Denmon's services.
Because of stitches underneath his eye after suffering a blow to the face during Mizzou's easy victory over the Oklahoma Sooners this weekend, Denmon's status for Tuesday's important conference game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders is unknown.
After the game on Saturday coach Mike Anderson didn't think the injury was too bad.
"It's kind of one of those shiners. He caught a nice elbow and of course that's going to happen especially when you're in there where the action is," coach Mike Anderson said. "I think he's going to be OK. I think it was one of our guys."
Unfortunately it looks the Tigers won't know until just before game time if their leading scorer will be able to go.
Denmon is averaging 16.2 points per game while shooting 45% from 3 point range this season.
