Welcome to Missouri Tigers On SI's "Extra Point," a video series featuring the site's Missouri beat writers. Multiple times a week, the writers provide analysis on a topic concerning the Tigers or the landscape of college sports.

A four game win streak for the No. 22 Missouri Tigers was snapped Tuesday night, losing to the Texas Longhorns on the road.

Its the first loss for Missouri this season to a team not currently ranked inside the top 25, with all four losses now coming on the road or at a neutral site.

The game had some important implications for Missouri, being the Tigers' last matchup before entering a four-game stretch against all ranked opponents. But, even with an underwhelming performance from Missouri, there shouldn't be too much concern regarding the Tigers' talent after the loss.

Missouri had to roll with some unfavorable lineups in tense final minutes, with Anthony Robinson II, Tony Perkins and Trent Pierce all reaching four fouls by the end of the game.

Additionally, it was far from Missouri's best shooting performance, shooting 31.3 percent from the field and 18.2 percent on three-point shots.

Missouri will look to bounce back Saturday, hosting No. 21 Ole Miss at 5 p.m.
