Mizzou's Jeremiah Tilmon unavailable Saturday vs. Arkansas Senior center is away from the team Saturday following a death in his family.
FEBRUARY 13, 2021 • OLEANTIMESHERALD.COM
Unavailable Saturday Tilmon is not with the team for Saturday's game against Arkansas as he tends to a death in his family, Mitchell Forde of Power Mizzou reports.
Impact Tilmon's absence is a major development as he's third on the team in points (12.8) and leads the squad in rebounds (7.8) and blocks (1.4) per game. The 6-10 senior also had one of his better games against Arkansas earlier in the season when he dropped 25 points to go along with 11 rebounds in an easy victory. It's unclear if he'll be back with the team in time for when they travel to face Georgia on Tuesday.
