QUOTES
Mizzou Head Coach Marc Burns… ” We had a rough day today on both sides but will own it and move on. It is important to talk through and evaluate what went wrong and learn as much as you can from it. We did that and will emerge a better team because of it. We host the SEC Champs in two weeks and we will be ready to battle on our home turf!”
