The Mizzou Tigers faded in the second half of their 93-75 loss to Alabama. Mizzou trailed by just two at halftime and once again Dennis Gates couldn’t get his team to play a full 40 minutes.
The game was chippy in the first half, Mizzou’s Aiden Shaw got into with Bama players in front of their bench and Bama coach Nate Oates pushed Shaw back. No bad blood between Gates and Oates but Gates couldn’t believe a technical wasn’t called.
