AmberAbyss+FollowMissouri Tigers hit by injuries, Gates steps upA 43-point loss to Illinois has put the Missouri Tigers in the spotlight, but what really stands out is Coach Dennis Gates owning the defeat and shielding his players from blame. With key contributors like Jayden Stone and Trent Pierce sidelined, the Tigers’ offense just couldn’t get going, leading to their lowest-scoring game in decades. Gates’ message to the team?

What do you think will turn things around for the Tigers? #Sports #MissouriTigers #DennisGates00Share
