Tonight marks the beginning of the Southeastern Conference slate for the Missouri Tigers and Kentucky Wildcats, who will meet for the 13th time on the hardwood.
At 11-1, the Tigers are off to one of their best starts in program history. For just the sixth time in the past 40 years, Mizzou won 11 of its first 12 games and reached that mark in impressive fashion, running away from then-No. 16 Illinois for a 22-point victory in the Braggin’ Rights rivalry game.
Following a pair of emotional victories, the Tigers will look to continue their success against a Wildcats program that seems to always find themselves near the top of the SEC standings each year.
