Entering Saturday, Mizzou and Arkansas men’s basketball are riding opposite trajectories.
The Tigers return home with tons of momentum, having upset No. 5 Florida in Gainesville on Tuesday. They sit at 14-3 overall and 3-1 in SEC play, putting themselves in position to not just make the NCAA Tournament, but to potentially earn a single-digit seed as well.
The Hogs, meanwhile, have been getting cooked in conference play. They’ve started 0-4 against SEC opponents for the first time since the 2009-10 season; while there’s still time to right the ship, John Calipari’s first season in Fayetteville is close to sinking before the calendar even turns to February.
