Big test for Mizzou basketball early in season against Xavier

The Mizzou basketball team hits the road in Week 2 of the 2019-20 basketball season. Four years ago, the Tigers took a trip to Cincinnati and played Xavier in the second week of the regular season. The two teams seem to play every season, with Xavier winning in 2015 and 2016 but the Tigers taking last year’s game 71-56.

Tonight, we get a real preview on how this year’s Mizzou basketball team should look as it plays No. 21 Xavier. It’s early on, so plenty of things could change. But it gives us a better look than the first two games of the season did.
