"Bama couldn’t hold onto the ball in key moments," another added.

"Dang Auburn really broke them. Haven’t had a lead in the last 80 minutes of basketball," a user wrote.

Others slammed the Tide's defense for struggling to contain Missouri's offense:

"One of the worst defensive performances in a min," a fan tweeted.

"110 sheesh. Mizzou had an off night at the line as well...imagine," another commented.

"Figure out defense," a fan wrote.

Mark Mitchell led the scoring for the Tigers with 31 points, along with three rebounds and three assists. Meanwhile, Caleb Grill added 25 points, 10 rebounds and three assists for the hosts.

When Alabama was down 42-28 with just over five minutes remaining in the first half, Nate Oats let out his frustration by slamming his clipboard on the ground. The clipboard broke into several pieces and Oats received a technical foul for his actions.

It was Oats' first technical foul this season. He had gone 28 games without a technical foul, with the previous one coming in the second half of Alabama's NCAA Tournament win over Grand Canyon in March last year.

Oats and Alabama will now aim to end their two-game losing streak when the Tide hosts No. 17 Kentucky on Saturday.
