Missouri basketball got encouraging minutes from its bench but continued to battle a persisting problem. Here are three takeaways from the top-five win.

Missouri earned its first road win over a top-five team since 2012 on Tuesday as it took down No. 5 Florida 83-82 in a physical slugfest in Gainesville that lasted more than two and a half hours and featured 60 free throws.

The Missouri Tigers men’s basketball team won its 13th straight home game on Saturday afternoon, beating the Vanderbilt Commodores 75-66 at Mizzou Arena in Columbia. The Tigers led throughout. Vandy clawed within a point late in the game, cutting the score to 61-60 with about 5 minutes, 30 seconds remaining.
