Missouri Tigers

Missouri's season was possibly saved by two buzzer-beaters that helped the Tigers escape with a win over Oklahoma. Needless to say, the Tigers are walking on thin ice.

Missouri has proven to be a resilient team in the final minutes of games, but its how the team has performed in the first 35 minutes of the game that are much more concerning.

Watch the video above as Joey Van Zummeren gives his list of two things he's liked, and two things he's disliked about the Tigers with a third of SEC play in the books.
