Pourover: It wasn’t perfect, but winning doesn’t have to be
It’s been a while, Mizzou fans, so enjoy it. I don’t want to pull anyone down with a reminder of the recent past, but it’s been since February 19th of last year (Alabama) since Missouri won a big game. In fact they only have three top 100 wins since then. South Carolina, Mississippi State, and […]
Mizzou takes down top-25 Florida, 76-74
Trailing by three in the final 15 seconds of the first half, Missouri men’s basketball got the ball to an unlikely hero for the final shot of the opening 20 minutes. Trent Burns has played sparingly this season for the Tigers, averaging just 5.9 minutes per game entering Saturday’s contest, and had never hit a […]

Why Missouri’s 3-point defense looks the way it does
Any scouting report Missouri assembled ahead of Braggin’ Rights could have made a reasonable tradeoff: quarantine the lane and force Illinois to scratch out a living from long range. Coming in, the Illini’s shooting clip off the catch lagged behind the national average, and Brad Underwood’s squad had only shot better than 35 percent twice […]
Three things we learned on the first day of the transfer portal
Congratulations! You’ve made it through 6.7 percent of the transfer portal season. Do you feel like throwing yourself through a wall yet? Or is that just me? The truth is, all the rumors and intrigue around the sport right now? Probably a net positive! Message boards are popping, program interest is high for non-CFP teams, […]
The 2026 SEC Hoops season is here
Last season you could write an opus teasing the opening of the SEC Conference play. In the long history of college basketball, and the SEC in particular, no conference had ever been so good. At the top, and the middle, and even the bottom of the league, everyone was quality. Oklahoma finished 6-12 in the […]
REPORTS: Ole Miss QB Austin Simmons enters portal, Missouri favorites to land him
Good news arrived for Missouri football fans on Friday afternoon as ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that former top prospect Austin Simmons — who spent his freshman season in the quarterback room at Ole Miss — is entering the portal.

Mizzou Gymnastics welcomes Cyclones for home opener
It’s here! It’s finally here!!! The start of Mizzou Gymnastics’ 2026 season, which I think will be another one for the record books. Missouri enters the season with a no. 7 preseason ranking in the Women’s College Gymnastics Association (WCGA) poll, their highest in program history—no surprises here. They were also given a no. 7 […]

Chip Lindsey’s Career: Part V
Chip Lindsey is Missouri’s newest offensive coordinator and I am extremely skeptical of this hire. To put it nicely. In order to show you why I think this/talk myself into this hire, I’m going to review his resume and offer a break out of how he’s done at each job he’s had previously. I am […]
Mizzou Wrestling Prepares for the Soldier Salute
Teams don’t grow when their competition is facile; they grow when mountainous challenges are presented. No. 14 Tiger Style didn’t go through an easy 2025 portion of its season, and the first test of the new year will arguably be the biggest test to date. 13 programs will head to Iowa City, Iowa, to compete […]

It’s possible things are going to get worse before they get better when it comes to the portal.

Earlier this month I sat down with fellow Rock M volleyball enthusiasts Colin Simmons and Matthew Gustafson along with KCOU Service to Seven host Jeffrey Calhoun to discuss the 2025 Mizzou volleyball season. The team fell just short of the NCAA Tournament due to several key losses in the final month of the season. With […]
How Mizzou Wrestling can Take a Needed Jump in the New Year
Pedigree can only take a program so far in college sports, and Tiger Style is facing one of its most challenging stretches under head coach Brian Smith. Dating back to the 2024-25 regular season, where Mizzou finished 5-10, Smith has faced a more treacherous path than ever since taking charge of the program in 1998. […]

The transfer portal opens this week. And if we know anything about Mizzou’s staff, we know they’ll be active. Mizzou just wrapped up a somewhat disappointing 8-5 season, and they’ll lose some key members that got them to those 8 wins. But there’s also a strong culture and roster platform in place, and Mizzou’s moves […]

Takeaways from the Mizzou women’s basketball non-conference slate
In the first year of new coach Kellie Harper, Mizzou women’s basketball is off to a strong start at the conclusion of non-conference play. The Tigers are 12-3, their best start since the 2022-23 season. In addition, this has come with a tougher schedule, finishing the slate with a 2-2 record against power opponents. Here’s […]
Beyond The Box Score: Oops no offense
There are folks out there that love a good defensive slugfest. I am not one of them. But even if I was, I’m not sure the 2025 Gator Bowl would qualify as such. There was certainly one side that did its part: Missouri’s defense stymied Virginia all night. I know the Mizzou online collective were […]
