The No. 14/16 University of Missouri men’s basketball team is set to host South Carolina in a crucial matchup with just two weeks left in the regular season. The Tigers, who have a 20-7 record with a 9-5 mark in SEC play, are looking to bounce back from a recent loss to Arkansas. Led by Mark Mitchell, Caleb Grill, and Tamar Bates, Mizzou boasts a potent offense that ranks eighth nationally in scoring.
South Carolina, on the other hand, enters the game with an 11-16 overall record and a 1-13 mark in SEC play. The Gamecocks are led by Collin Murray-Boyles, who averages 15.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.
The two teams are tied in their all-time series, with the home team winning seven of the last nine matchups. Missouri, which has been dominant at home this season with a 17-1 record at Mizzou Arena, will look to extend their success against South Carolina.
Head Coach Dennis Gates of Missouri was recently named to the Werner Ladder Naismith Men’s Coach of the Year Watch List, further highlighting the program’s success this season.
