Kerrick Jackson and Co. aim for a bounce-back season
Coming off a season where Missouri baseball sat at the bottom of the Southeastern Conference with a 16-39 record and three wins in SEC play, there’s no place to look except up for a bounce-back season. Injury returnees, a revamp in identity, and a building project were some of the main talking points from Tigers […]
GameDay: Hey let’s win at South Carolina!
Winning is hard. Winning on the road is harder. Winning on the road in conference play is the hardest. Mizzou has been in the SEC now 14 seasons and they have 26 road wins in league play. That’s an average of less than 2 per season. And each year they play 9 road games, so […]
Mizzou Wrestling Extends Win Streak to Three Against West Virginia
No. 19 Tiger Style picked up its third straight dual win with a 26-13 victory against No. 16 West Virginia, advancing to 11-7 and 4-2 in Big 12 play. That’s a very solid win after trailing through much of the lighter weight classes. Head coach Brian Smith has created a juggernaut of a stretch in […]

Takeaways from Day 1 of Mizzou Softball’s season
It is so great to be back watching and talking about Mizzou Softball! That being said, not the prettiest start for the Tigers on Day 1 of the NFCA Leadoff Classic. Mizzou went 0-2 with losses against Penn State and Oregon. The loss to the Ducks was expected, as they are No. 5 in the […]

Mizzou Arena After Dark: NCAA Semifinals Rematch
IT’S SHOWTIME, BABYYYYYYYY. On Friday night, under the lights of Mizzou Arena, the no. 7 Missouri Tigers will welcome in the no. 2 Florida Gators for a battle of predatory animals in a rematch of the NCAA Semifinals that sent our fair Missouri Tigers to the National Championships and sent the gators packing their suitcases […]
Tiger Style Dual Preview: No. 18 West Virginia
This is an interesting time in the season for No. 19 Mizzou wrestling. The last three duals were all blowouts, two in favor of the Tigers and one as the victim against No. 5 Oklahoma State. There are three more duals left in the regular season, all against high-quality Big 12 opponents. Mizzou is coming […]
Commute: Can the NCAA wrestle eligibility back under control?
When 7th year 25 year olds are mocking 5th year 23 year olds… we’ve jumped the shark on eligibility. The main driver for NCAA related news these days seems to be lawsuits brought about to challenge eligibility rules. Since as long as I can remember the standard 5 years to play 4 seasons has been […]
Mizzou women’s basketball outlasts Arkansas for road win
The Mizzou women’s basketball team defeated Arkansas for the second time this year on Thursday in Fayetteville. While the Tigers ran the Razorbacks off the court in Columbia, it took all 40 minutes to put them away in an 87-82 thriller in Bud Walton Arena. This game was highly competitive from the jump with 11 […]
Softball Roundtable: Preseason!
With the Mizzou Softball season set to kickoff Friday at 9 a.m. against Penn State, it’s time to get busy! Rock M’s softball staff is bigger than ever this season and we hope to provide all the content you need to stay up to date throughout the season. We thought it made sense to do […]
T.O. Barrett upped his game — but can he give Mizzou more down the stretch?
T.O. Barrett’s breakout moment is easy to spot. It played out with five minutes left in regulation against Oklahoma. Missouri trailed by three. Barrett caught a ball reversal in the right slot and waited for Shawn Phillips Jr. to trot up and set a ball screen on the Sooners’ Tae Davis. Barrett didn’t need it. […]

Mizzou balances urgency, development in latest transfer portal class
As a chaotic #transferszn seems to finally have come to a close, it’s now time to dig through the rubble, count the casualties and take stock of how it all played out. A larger than normal (or at least exected) wave of young players exited the program through the portal, leaving the Tigers short not […]
Commute: Mizzou Athletics implements new partnership with MU Health Care
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Athletics.

Hoopin’ and Hollerin: Stacking wins
Mizzou women’s basketball has started to hit its stride under the first year of Kellie Harper with an upset win on the road against Mississippi State. The Tigers have now won back-to-back conference games, improving to 3-6 and 11th in the SEC. The team has the perfect chance to continue building on this momentum, traveling […]
Revisiting 2025’s “Count The ‘Ifs’”
Before every football season I continue the tradition set by The Godfather Bill C. and come up with a checklist of accomplishments for the Missouri football team to complete. Some lead to a winning season, some lead to a 10-win season, and the best seasons of recent years check a lot more boxes than other […]
Photos of the week: 1.26.2026
It’s that time of week again! On Friday, No. 7 gymnastics took on No. 2 LSU and earned its highest score of the season despite a close 0.175 loss. (Editor’s note: W/L don’t matter until Regionals; only pay attention to the scores and if they’re getting better.) Men’s basketball faced Mississippi State on Saturday in […]
Study Hall: Mizzou 84, Mississippi State 79
Fun facts, Missouri was a 71% chance to win this game at the tip, and the lowest it would drop was when MSU took a one point lead at 26-25. That was at the end of a 12-1 run, which followed a rather stupid technical foul on Shawn Phillips. Anthony Robinson II had just rebounded […]

Mizzou sparkles in Nightfall under bright lights of Friday Night Heights
There’s something about night games at Mizzou Arena that just feel more special. I don’t know how to describe it; you just have to see it for yourself. The entertainment value is cranked up an infinite amount. It’s magical. To see this many people in the arena — a season-high 5,164 — so invested in […]
