Championship Week Saturday Watch list

No Missouri is not playing. It’s been since 2023 when they last played on a Championship Week Saturday. Before that you have to go back to 2012. So Missouri has only played in the SEC Tournament Semi-Finals once. Might be time to change that up soon, Coach Gates? But the fun of the day isn’t […]
