Mizzou has gone three straight games holding opponents to less than 70 points. Their adjusted defense has risen around 40 spots during this stretch.

Prior to the A&M game, if you exclude the blood donors, Mizzou held opponents to less than 70 points three times all season.

What do we think? Statistical anomaly? Or is there something here?

The one thing I can point to is rebounding. Since Tre Gomillion has returned, Mizzou has actually been competitive on the glass. They are -1 in that category since he’s been playing again. Can that hold up down the stretch and into the tournament?
