How Mizzou can correct defensive concerns in regular season finale vs. Kentucky

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Seeding, seniors and getting stops. That’s what’s on the line for Missouri's men’s basketball team in its regular season finale.

The No. 15 Tigers (21-9 overall, 10-7 Southeastern Conference) will play their final home game of the season, at 11 a.m. Saturday against No. 19 Kentucky (20-10, 9-8), honoring players out of eligibility afterward. Both teams are jockeying for seeding in the SEC and NCAA tournaments.

Seeding scenarios and tiebreakers will be complex, but with a win and a Texas A&M loss, Missouri would secure the No. 5 seed in the SEC tournament. An MU win and the Aggies beating Louisiana State probably would slot Mizzou in at No.
