After suffering its worst loss of the season Wednesday, Missouri men’s basketball (13-4, 6-4 Southeastern Conference) will have a quick turnaround against a familiar opponent. The No. 10 Tigers host Arkansas at 3 p.m. Saturday at Mizzou Arena.
This will be the second time the teams have faced off this season, with Missouri winning the first matchup 81-68 on Jan. 2.
“Last time we played them, they were coming off a loss and this time it’s the same thing,” Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said. “We have to understand what (we’re) walking into.”
In the first matchup, Jeremiah Tilmon scored 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
