Coming into the offseason following 2025, Mizzou knew that it had some gaps to sort out: the entire defense was gone. From the defensive line all the way back to the safety position, the Tigers got pretty much wiped clean of all their starters from just a year ago. That left plenty of work for […]

Study Hall: Oklahoma 80, Missouri 64

How Trent Burns expanded his role — and Missouri’s rotation
Ahead of Missouri’s arrival in Starkville, coach Chris Jans’ scouting report likely framed Trent Burns as a stretch five keen to fire away from deep and occasionally finish around the rim. It probably didn’t budget space for the redshirt freshman’s arsenal of low-post moves. But only five minutes elapsed before Burns rolled to the right […]
