In this story:COLUMBIA, Mo. — Dennis Gates felt the need to remind everyone in his post-game press conference that Missouri had actually won its game against No. 19 Vanderbilt.“This is not a loss,” Gates said, after several of the first few questions asked in the press conference were focused on the collapse the Tigers had, where what was once a 21-point lead led to a one-point finish. “This is a win.
