The Missouri Tigers get a welcomed week off from the Southeastern Conference men's basketball wars after winning five of their first seven games in league play.
They banked a valuable 83-75 victory Saturday over Ole Miss at home. That is their fourth notable victory, following the wins over Kansas, Florida on the road and Vanderbilt — a surprising team that has climbed into the Top 25 since losing in Boone County.
The Tigers are currently operating at full strength and moving along without any major controversies. They have more than enough depth to overcome injuries, foul trouble and individual slumps.
