Only two games remain for the Mizzou men's basketball team, and after falling Saturday at Vanderbilt, avoiding a defeat Wednesday at Oklahoma is key.
It won't be easy, though. KenPom.com projects a two-point Mizzou win.
The Tigers trail in the race for the fourth and final bye into the quarterfinal round by one game.
Mizzou is 21-8 overall, 10-6 in the Southeastern Conference after Saturday's overtime defeat at Vanderbilt.
Oklahoma is 17-12 overall, 4-12 in the Southeastern Conference after suffering an 87-84 loss at Ole Miss on Saturday. Before that, the Sooners narrowly fell to No.
