Mizzou Men's Basketball returns to the friendly confines of Mizzou Arena for a three-game home stand that begins with Arkansas State on Tuesday, Dec. 1. Tipoff is slated for 8:05 p.m. on the SEC Network.
Although the Tigers dropped both their games at the CBE Hall of Fame Classic (Nov. 23-24), head coach Kim Anderson's squad found positivity in its comeback attempt vs. Northwestern.
Mizzou ultimately fell to the Wildcats by a score of 67-62, but tightened the deficit to just three points inside the final minute after trailing by 14 points at the half.
The second half surge vs. Northwestern was keyed by freshman guard Terrence Phillips, who scored 13 of his 16 points after the break. Phillips hit 3-of-6 shots from behind the arc.
Mizzou is 7-1 all-time against member schools of the Sun Belt Conference, in which Arkansas State resides. The Tigers last dropped a result to a Sun Belt school in 1974 (74-64 vs. South Alabama, Jan. 3, 1974, in Mobile, Ala.).
