Everything the Missouri men's basketball team worked toward this season was to put itself in the best position possible for the NCAA Tournament.
Now "The Big Dance" is here. The Tigers were selected as the No. 9 seed in the West Region and will face No. 8 seed Oklahoma on Saturday night from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The winner advances to face No. 1 overall seed Gonzaga on Monday barring a monumental upset from No. 16 seed Norfolk State. The loser ends its season.
Missouri hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game since March 19, 2010, with four losses since that victory over Clemson in Buffalo, New York.
