COLUMBIA, Mo. — For the first time this season, Cuonzo Martin has changed up his starting lineup: Junior guard Javon Pickett is in for senior guard Mark Smith. Pickett has been a steady producer off the bench this season, while Smith has gone through lapses with turnovers and poor 3-point shooting. MU's other four starters stay the same: Xavier Pinson, Dru Smith, Kobe Brown and Jeremiah Tilmon.
The last time Mizzou hosted TCU for a men’s basketball game was two arenas ago for the Tigers and four conferences ago for the Horned Frogs. Norm Stewart had just enrolled at MU to play for Sparky Stalcup.
