First year coach Jai Lucas has the team playing well, with Malik Reneau, Tre Donaldson, Shelton Henderson, Ernest Udeh Jr, and Tru Washington leading the way. The Canes’ opponent tonight is the team that travels the shortest distance of any for their NCAA tournament site: the 10th seeded Missouri Tigers. Sporting a 20-12 record on the year, Mizzou enters the tournament on a 3-game losing streak.
