Five Takeaways from Mizzou’s 71-67 exhibition win at Kansas State

Mizzou Basketball won an exhibition game in Manhattan, Kansas tonight. Even though the game didn’t count, the last time a win in Bramlage happened for the Tigers was in February of 2004. So 22 years is a minute.

I don’t mean to bring that up to make it a bigger deal than it is. Bramlage wasn’t full, Kansas State is expected to be amongst the worst teams in the Big 12 this year, but it’s also been a place where we’ve watched the Tigers march into only to be slaughtered.

When Mark left the floor for the last time Missouri had a 9 point lead. Down the stretch it was a combination of Jason Crowe, Jr., Kennard Davis, Jr., Aidan Chronister, Cord Stansberry, Toni Bryant, and Bryson Tiller. And after Mitchell came out, there were 5 substitutions. So it was clear what the goal was. Get these young guys the experience of closing out a game on the road.
