Sunday afternoon’s game against Missouri serves as an early test for WSU in the second game of the season. If WSU can get the victory, it could serve as an important win on the Shockers’ resume later on in the season.
Missouri has already solidified itself as one of the top teams in the country after beating No. 21 Oregon on Wednesday, 83-75. The Tigers also feature one of the most experienced rosters in the country, including eight upperclassmen and five seniors.
All of the metrics point to a Missouri win, with KenPom giving the Tigers a 65% shot at victory inside Charles Koch Arena and ESPN’s Basketball Power Index giving WSU a 61.
