Missouri Tigers Suffer Seventh Consecutive SEC Loss to South Carolina

Despite Strong Performances from East II and Bates, Tigers Fall Short in Offensive Consistency

The Missouri Tigers men's basketball team suffered their seventh consecutive loss in the Southeastern Conference, falling to South Carolina 72-64.
Despite leading scorers Sean East II and Tamar Bates contributing 21 and 16 points respectively, the rest of the team combined for just 27 points.
South Carolina's B.J. Mack led the Gamecocks with 21 points, repeating his performance from the teams' previous meeting in January.
The Tigers managed to overcome a double-digit deficit in the second half to take the lead, but failed to maintain it due to offensive inconsistencies.
Missouri will return home to face Arkansas on Wednesday, while South Carolina will travel to face No. 5 Tennessee.
