Podcast: Mizzou gets rest heading into SEC Tournament ... and grading Kelce on ‘SNL’
For its excellent regular season, Missouri’s men’s basketball team was rewarded with two days off. For the first time since joining the SEC, the Tigers played their way to the double-bye and advance straight to Friday’s quarterfinal round.
On today’s SportsBeat KC podcast, Mizzou beat writer Matt Stahl breaks down the Tigers’ latest conquest — a tight triumph over Ole Miss in Columbia on Saturday — and looks ahead to the SEC Tournament in Nashville, where Missouri is the No. 4 seed.
It’s been a remarkable season for the program in coach Dennis Gates’ first season. Can Missouri keep it going in the postseason?
After a break, you’ll hear from KC Star sports reporter Pete Grathoff, who for this show doubles as a television critic. We discuss Travis Kelce’s performance as host for the most recent “Saturday Night Live,” and maybe it’s regional bias, but we both give him positive grades.
