While it feels like the Big12-SEC Challenge has been around forever and it feels like the Tigers have been left out since the dawn of time... it’s really only been a few years.
Missouri joined the SEC from the Big12 in 2012 and the next season found themselves in the Challenge, facing West Virginia. It was Frank Haith’s last year as a coach but the Challenge occurred in early December and Missouri ran over West Virginia en route to a 10-0 start. A lot went wrong from there. Haith left, Mike Alden hired Kim Anderson, and the next season Mizzou got run off the floor at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
