COLUMBIA, Mo. — It’s another matchup of first-year SEC coaches Tuesday at Mizzou Arena, where Dennis Gates’ Missouri Tigers (17-6, 5-5 SEC) host Lamont Paris’ South Carolina Gamecocks (8-15, 1-9). Richard Cross and former Mizzou All-American Jon Sundvold have the call on SEC Network for the 8 p.m. tip-off. Mizzou is a 15.5-point favorite as of Tuesday morning. Here are 12 numbers to know for Tuesday’s game.
276: South Carolina’s spot in the NCAA’s NET rankings as of Tuesday, making this the rare conference Quad 4 game for Mizzou. Ugh. That’s not only the lowest NET ranking in the SEC but second-lowest among all teams in the six major conferences.
