No. 10 Missouri men's basketball hopes its high ranking will stick this time.
The Tigers' previous journeys into the top 15 of The Associated Press poll this season were followed by a lull. After they rose to No. 13, they lost their next game to Mississippi State. After being slotted No. 12, Missouri fell one day later to Auburn.
Now holding its highest ranking in over eight years, Cuonzo Martin and his team face another tricky matchup Wednesday night at Mississippi.
The Rebels have won each of their past two games — each by two points.
