It took the Missouri Tigers basketball team 2 days to get to Stillwater, Oklahoma to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Once Mizzou got to Stillwater, it only took them 6 hours to lose.
Coach Mike Anderson and his team did not arrive until 6 hours before game time and the play on the court reflected it as Missouri lost to Oklahoma State 76-70.
Mizzou got off to a sluggish start falling behind by 10 points 8 minutes into the game and was never able to recover.
A step slow for most of the evening, the Tigers were only able to force 11 Cowboy turnovers. Mizzou's season average is 18.
Mizzou also put Oklahoma State on the free throw repeatedly, as Oklahoma State was 29 of 43 from the charity strip. Mizzou was just 11 of 16.
The Tigers received strong play from Matt Pressey off the bench. Pressey scored 15 points.
Marcus Denmon also got back on track after a terrible game at Texas last weekend, scoring 15 points and grabbing 4 steals.
The loss drops the Tigers record to just 3-4 in Big 12 play.
Mizzou next faces Colorado at Mizzou Arena on Saturday.
