Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for Mizzou as they fell 58-56 to the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Sunday. The top scorers for Mizzou were guard Javon Pickett (16 points) and guard Jarron Coleman (15 points).
Tennessee is now 19-7 while the Tigers sit at 10-17. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Volunteers rank 27th in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 62.9 on average. Less enviably, Mizzou is stumbling into the matchup with the 33rd fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 65 on average.
