“Obviously we’re very happy and pleased to be able to advance out of the first round. We knew coming in tonight that Arizona was a very good team, had a great season and did a lot of things very well. It was a great way to start the weekend. Survive and advance,” said Mizzou head coach Wayne Kreklow.
