Pourover: The roller coaster season continues
Yesterday Missouri beat Mississippi State to move to 15-7 overall, and 5-4 in the SEC. 5-4 is good for 9th in the league. The Tigers are currently 61st in KenPom.com, which is the 12th best mark in the league. None of these are standout rankings, but Mizzou at least has two of the better wins […]

A successful half from three point land guides Mizzou to victory, defeating Mississippi State 84-79
The final minute of the Tiger-Bulldog matchup probably had fans yelling at the TV, turning their knuckles white and turning to whatever stress relief outlet they could find. The visitors wouldn’t go away late and Mizzou’s issue of closing out an opponent came back from the dead. Fortunately, a first half of three’s was enough […]

Who were Mizzou’s best additions from the transfer portal?
With the transfer portal winding down and the team starting to look like a team again, the Tigers sit in a position a lot better than they were feeling a month ago.

SBN Reacts: Fans Don’t Like Mizzou Basketball’s Chances
The Missouri Tigers are currently 14-7 overall (4-4 SEC) and are on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble as the month of February is right around the corner.

GameDay: Must win Saturday for Mizzou Basketball
I think I’ve been doing this so long now that I’ve probably repeated myself 100 times on any given subject. One of them is my indifference with Mississippi State. I don’t understand why the SEC keeps making these two teams play so often? Really both Mississippi schools. But at least the Rebels were considered a […]
The Tigers Rise to the Occasion on Day One of the Competition
On Friday, Jan. 30, the first day of competition leaned heavily on the field events, and Brianna Utecht made the most of the opportunity.

Rock M Roundtable: A Post-Portal Roster Evaluation
Sometimes in this job I feel a bit like Liz Lemon at the end of January. You’re telling me 2026 just got started? More than one half of Mizzou’s roster got turned over, yet we’re 8.5 percent of the way through the calendar year?? The transfer portal can do that to you. The fast and […]

Faith Beyond the Mat: How Aeoden Sinclair Emerged For Tiger Style
A lot can change in a year, for better or worse. Pandemics can transform the world, the environment can be destroyed or restored, and a person’s mindset can be radically altered. In 2024, Wisconsin native Aeoden Sinclair was at the top of the high school wrestling world. He was the No. 1-ranked recruit at 190lbs […]

Study Hall: Alabama 90, Mizzou 64
For the range of outcomes when I saw this game on the schedule, even going back to the preseason, this was the one I felt was most likely. Maybe I didn’t expect it to play out exactly like it happened with the free throws and the outside shooting, but some version of: ‘close for the […]

Recruiting Reset: Bobby Washington bolsters a deep linebacker corps
Perhaps lost in the excitement of top portal additions Cayden Lee and Malik Bryant over the weekend, Mizzou football added another linebacker to its roster with the commitment of Bobby Washington, the third former Miami Hurricane to join the Tigers.

An Alabama run late in the first half helps the Tide steamroll Mizzou 90-64
When Effie Trinket echoes the iconic phrase, “May the odds be ever in your favor!” in The Hunger Games, I don’t think she was speaking to Missouri basketball. Labeled among the “First Four Out” by Joe Lunardi on Tuesday morning, the Tigers needed a performance to catch the nation’s eye and avoid staying on the […]

Recruiting Reset: Zack Owens adds more SEC quality depth in the trenches
You know the saying in baseball? You can never have too many pitchers? Well, I feel that way about offensive linemen in football. You can never have too many. You can always throw another plate of beef on the grill. It’s just gonna add some more flavor to the party. Apologies if I’ve used this […]
