Mizzou balances urgency, development in latest transfer portal class

As a chaotic #transferszn seems to finally have come to a close, it’s now time to dig through the rubble, count the casualties and take stock of how it all played out. A larger than normal (or at least exected) wave of young players exited the program through the portal, leaving the Tigers short not […]

Commute: Mizzou Athletics implements new partnership with MU Health Care

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Athletics. With a slow week start of the week of Mizzou sports, I thought it would be good to draw attention to what else is happening within Mizzou Athletics. (Editor’s note: There are two women’s basketball games, a home track invitational, a men’s basketball […]

Hoopin’ and Hollerin: Stacking wins

Mizzou women’s basketball has started to hit its stride under the first year of Kellie Harper with an upset win on the road against Mississippi State. The Tigers have now won back-to-back conference games, improving to 3-6 and 11th in the SEC. The team has the perfect chance to continue building on this momentum, traveling […]

Revisiting 2025’s “Count The ‘Ifs’”

Before every football season I continue the tradition set by The Godfather Bill C. and come up with a checklist of accomplishments for the Missouri football team to complete. Some lead to a winning season, some lead to a 10-win season, and the best seasons of recent years check a lot more boxes than other […]

Photos of the week: 1.26.2026

It’s that time of week again! On Friday, No. 7 gymnastics took on No. 2 LSU and earned its highest score of the season despite a close 0.175 loss. (Editor’s note: W/L don’t matter until Regionals; only pay attention to the scores and if they’re getting better.) Men’s basketball faced Mississippi State on Saturday in […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 84, Mississippi State 79

Fun facts, Missouri was a 71% chance to win this game at the tip, and the lowest it would drop was when MSU took a one point lead at 26-25. That was at the end of a 12-1 run, which followed a rather stupid technical foul on Shawn Phillips. Anthony Robinson II had just rebounded […]

Zion Young rising after big Senior Bowl week

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Zion Young, who is quickly becoming this year’s candidate for fast-rising Mizzou prospect in the NFL Draft. Despite entering the week of the Senior Bowl as one of the day two and beyond picks at EDGE for most draftniks, Young had himself an impressive week against […]

Pourover: The roller coaster season continues

Yesterday Missouri beat Mississippi State to move to 15-7 overall, and 5-4 in the SEC. 5-4 is good for 9th in the league. The Tigers are currently 61st in KenPom.com, which is the 12th best mark in the league. None of these are standout rankings, but Mizzou at least has two of the better wins […]

Seniors Take Center Stage on Day Two of the Meet 

The Missouri Tigers wrapped up their second day of the Dr. Rick McGuire Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo., highlighted by Senior Day celebrations and multiple runners earning top-10 program marks.

Who were Mizzou’s best additions from the transfer portal?

With the transfer portal winding down and the team starting to look like a team again, the Tigers sit in a position a lot better than they were feeling a month ago. Missouri added a plethora of players across all positions in hopes of rejuvenating a roster that lost almost all of its splash players […]

SBN Reacts: Fans Don’t Like Mizzou Basketball’s Chances

The Missouri Tigers are currently 14-7 overall (4-4 SEC) and are on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble as the month of February is right around the corner. In this week’s SBN Reacts survey — we asked the fanbase what Mizzou’s conference record will be at the end of the regular season and […]

GameDay: Must win Saturday for Mizzou Basketball

I think I’ve been doing this so long now that I’ve probably repeated myself 100 times on any given subject. One of them is my indifference with Mississippi State. I don’t understand why the SEC keeps making these two teams play so often? Really both Mississippi schools. But at least the Rebels were considered a […]

The Tigers Rise to the Occasion on Day One of the Competition

On Friday, Jan. 30, the first day of competition leaned heavily on the field events, and Brianna Utecht made the most of the opportunity. Behind consistent performances across all of her events, Utecht totaled the second-highest pentathlon score in program history. Women’s Pentathlon Highlights  Utecht Takes Command in the Pentathlon Junior Brianna Utetch captured first […]

Mizzou women’s basketball is coming off an 11-point win against Texas A&M, improving to 2-6 in the SEC action. Now the Tigers will get a small break as they will not play Thursday, receiving “a bye” until Sunday. This could not come at a better time as Mizzou has been plagued up and down the […]

Rock M Roundtable: A Post-Portal Roster Evaluation

Sometimes in this job I feel a bit like Liz Lemon at the end of January. You’re telling me 2026 just got started? More than one half of Mizzou’s roster got turned over, yet we’re 8.5 percent of the way through the calendar year?? The transfer portal can do that to you. The fast and […]
