Missouri men’s basketball team, seeded number 7, is heading into the Southeastern Conference Tournament seeking momentum after finishing the regular season with a three-game losing streak. Despite a significant improvement from the previous season, the Tigers are looking to turn things around in the tournament. SEC Sixth Man of the Year, Caleb Grill, emphasized the importance of doing the little things right to get back on track.
The Tigers will face 10th-seeded Mississippi State in the second round, with the winner advancing to play second-seeded Florida in the quarterfinals. Mizzou coach Dennis Gates acknowledged the challenge of facing an unpredictable opponent with limited preparation time.
Missouri will be looking to replicate their success against Mississippi State earlier this season, where they secured a win with strong performances from Grill and their team as a whole. However, Mizzou has struggled in rematches this season, emphasizing the need for adjustments and a focused game plan.
Mississippi State, led by guard Josh Hubbard and sixth man KeShawn Murphy, presents a tough challenge for Mizzou. With Hubbard scoring consistently and Murphy providing valuable contributions off the bench, Mississippi State will be a formidable opponent in the tournament.
The game between Missouri and Mississippi State will be broadcast on SEC Network, providing an opportunity for fans to watch these two competitive teams battle it out in the conference tournament.
