Missouri will try to regroup Wednesday against South Carolina State in Columbia, Mo.
South Carolina State leans on its guards -- freshman Mitchel Taylor (12.0 points, 4.0 assists per game) and junior Omar Croskey (10.4 ppg) -- but is also deep and capable of playing big.
With four players on the roster at 6-foot-10 or taller, including Drayton Jones, who averages 5.8 rebounds per game, South Carolina State can play big or go to a small ball set.
"When you play guys who can defend, you can just switch everything," South Carolina State coach Erik Martin said.
If you don't defend, you don't play.
