Sometimes, even when you know college basketball is a wild and unpredictable sport, it can still surprise you. That was the case Saturday night, when Missouri’s otherwise languishing offense exploded for 91 points in a 91-75 home win over Florida. The Tigers (9-6, 1-2 in SEC play through Sunday) had not been a particularly good
It’s another year of Braggin’ Rights for the Missouri Tigers. Missouri churned out a 63-56 win over Illinois in a defense-dominated Braggin’ Rights game, the two schools’ annual December matchup in St. Louis. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Missouri in holiday series, and it was the best win of the season so far
Missouri men’s basketball has had an up-and-down start to the season as they head into their anticipated Braggin’ Rights game with Illinois Saturday (noon on SEC Network), the annual holiday season barometer of how the Tigers are looking.

On Black Friday, Missouri churned out a 24-14 win
On a cold and challenging night at Faurot Field, Missouri lost 24-20 to Tennessee, stretching the Tigers’ losing streak to five games. It was a tough night to be a Tiger fan, sitting on a cold metal bench watching their team’s spiral slowly continue. Tennessee scored a touchdown to go ahead with 22 seconds left
Watching Missouri’s offense struggle on Saturday at Faurot Field was as frustrating as fumbling with a Rubik’s Cube for three and a half hours.

Saturday was one of those picturesque college football days in the South. Bulldog and Tiger fans filled Georgia’s campus in Athens for pregame tailgating and revelry amongst the fall colors and old buildings. Sanford Stadium had a hot crowd for a game under the lights in one of the SEC’s classic venues, “Between the Hedges.”
After a bye week to hopefully get ahold of itself, Missouri heads South for a big game, taking on the SEC East-leading No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs (6 p.m. on ESPN) in Athens. As horrendous as Missouri’s last two games were, this is the kind of game you get excited for. November is the most important
