Criswell Injured
Junior forward Tony Criswell will miss tomorrow night’s matchup with the UCLA Bruins with a fractured middle finger on his non-shooting left hand. Criswell hurt the finger in the Tigers 82-73 Braggin’ Rights win over Illinois last Saturday. Coming off the Tiger bench this season, Criswell is averaging six points and five rebounds in only 17 minutes. On a per-minute basis…he’s the second most efficient offensive rebounder on the team behind only Alex Oriakhi.The team says Criswell will be re-evaluated next week to determine if he can return to action. Mizzou’s next game after tomorrow night is a January 5th home tilt against Bucknell. The team also announced Thursday the start time for that game has changed from 6:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
