Saturday's 80-70 loss on the road at Kansas State hurt the Missouri Tigers in multiple ways.
It now makes it tougher for Mizzou to get a first round buy in the Big 12 tournament. Mizzou's resume could used a quality road win. And if the Tigers fail to win again this season, we think that they might be in jeopardy of missing the NCAA tournament.
All the Tigers need to do is win their last two regular season games and all of this gets better.
And so will their ranking.
After being in the Top 25 for the entire season, the Kansas State loss sent the Tigers back 24th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.
Mizzou heads back on the road Tuesday night to face a desperate Nebraska Cornhuskers team. Getting a victory in Lincoln is never easy, particularly in a season where the Tigers keep making silly mental errors when playing on unfamiliar courts.
Things are never easy in the Big 12, particularly on the road.
