On Saturday, we saw Missouri (8-17, 0-12 Southeastern Conference) play its best basketball of the 2024 calendar year at Mississippi. Even though it fell short and moral victories mean nothing in the win-loss column, it returns home with confidence for its next matchup.
That team it has to face is No. 8 Tennessee (19-6, 9-3). Last season we know what happened in both meeting between both squads as DeAndre Gholston knocked down a buzzer-beater in Knoxville while MU soared past the Vols in Nashville in the SEC Tournament (Mizzou seemingly excelled against the state of Tennessee in 2023 on both the basketball court and football field).
