How Anthony Robinson—and Missouri—Got Caught in an Offensive Squeeze

Key Highlights

• A week earlier against Auburn, Robinson sank a triple at 7:57 in the first half – and didn’t shoot the rest of the night. Over the past five games, Robinson has averaged 5.6 points on 27.2 percent shooting, including 1 of 13 beyond the arc.
• Even with a stellar outing against Florida, his offensive rating has slipped to 95.1.
• The sole bright spot had been Robinson’s facilitating, but his past two outings started eroding that pillar. Thursday night offered another data point in a worrisome decline.
• The throughline isn’t just missed shots.
• As conference play has unfolded, Robinson’s offensive footprint has shrunk – and it was already modest. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementRobinson’s defensive prowess remains, but MU’s prospects this season hinged on turning tantalizing moments into consistent production.
