Tiger Style Dual Preview: No. 16 Oklahoma
Head coach Brian Smith made it clear where the mentality of No. 17 Mizzou wrestling is at with two duals remaining in the regular season – “It’s Big 12 time.” The Tigers advanced to 11-7 after a win against the, at the time, No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers. The victory was one of their most […]

Commute: Looking at Mizzou’s chances at the NCAA Tournament
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Basketball. With no Mizzou events happening on Tuesday night, I thought it would be a good time to look at the fact that Mizzou Basketball has some big games coming up to determine its chance at a spot in the NCAA Tournament. With the […]

Larissa’s Lessons: Takeaways from 2026 opening weekend
Welcome to Larissa’s Lessons, a weekly takeaways series in which some combination of Karen, True and Dylan will break down the biggest takeaways from the weekend’s games. We love an alliteration and puns around here, so be prepared for some word play. Because the Tigers are playing a ridiculous number of games in a weekend […]

It’s February. Let’s break down the situational win/loss records of our guy, and compare him to the guys who came before. Why? Because I track this stuff and need an outlet to put it. I am aware this is not normal behavior. It’s ok. You get used to it. Here we go! Overall Six years […]

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Hoops Mizzou Basketball kept their at-large NCAA Tournament hopes alive after a 78-59 road win over South Carolina on Saturday afternoon.

Photos of the week: 2.2.2026
I know I said this week would be completely focusing on track, but I changed my mind… I wanted to take a chance to highlight the two other fantastic regular contributors to Rock M coverage: freshmen phenoms Margo Jenkins (@margoj_photography) and Dan Murphy (@danmurphmedia)! Enjoy some photos from all three of us this week from […]
Study Hall: Mizzou 78, South Carolina 59
One of the reasons the SEC is still considered a good league is because there are no really bad teams. The worst teams are bad in a relative way in comparison to the others mostly because of their record. So it’s easy to forget that heading into this game KenPom.com had projected this game as […]
Gators Chomped: Mizzou Gym Topples #2 Florida
It’s time for some honest reflection here, friends. Raise your hand if you thought Mizzou’s first SEC win of the season would come against no. 2 Florida (who now is #5, by the way). Yeah…. that’s what I thought. And that’s okay; I didn’t think it would happen either and just wanted a good score!! […]
Drew Lock joins the “Mizzou QB with a SB ring” club
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about the successful pipeline of Mizzou QBs to backup NFL QBs. First, Chase Daniel. Then, Blaine Gabbert. Now, Drew Lock. Next… Brady Cook? Last night, Drew Lock joined Daniel and Gabbert in prestigious company as former Tigers to win the big game as backup QBs, as Lock’s […]
Mizzou women’s basketball falls to Georgia, snaps three-game winning streak
Super Bowl Sunday has never been a fun day for the state of Georgia. The Atlanta Falcons have only made the big game twice in their 60-year history, losing both times. The second time featured a blown lead so agonizing that simply mentioning “28-3” could be punishable by death stares from Falcons fans. This time […]
Pourover: Never apologize for winning
I can’t remember who said winning on the road was hard, but clearly they are out of their mind because Mizzou made it look easy. Oh that was me, yesterday. Winning on the road is hard. It helps when you’re playing the lowest rated SEC team in KenPom. But you should never apologize for beating […]
Mizzou dominates down low against South Carolina for second consecutive win, 78-59
One of the key stories of Missouri’s season has been missed chances. The Tigers saw multiple opportunities for road wins against struggling opponents slip through their fingers early in conference play, placing them firmly on the bubble heading into the back half of their SEC schedule. After Mike Sharavjamts cut South Carolina’s deficit to 34-32 […]

Kerrick Jackson and Co. aim for a bounce-back season
Coming off a season where Missouri baseball sat at the bottom of the Southeastern Conference with a 16-39 record and three wins in SEC play, there’s no place to look except up for a bounce-back season. Injury returnees, a revamp in identity, and a building project were some of the main talking points from Tigers […]
GameDay: Hey let’s win at South Carolina!
Winning is hard. Winning on the road is harder. Winning on the road in conference play is the hardest. Mizzou has been in the SEC now 14 seasons and they have 26 road wins in league play. That’s an average of less than 2 per season. And each year they play 9 road games, so […]
Mizzou Wrestling Extends Win Streak to Three Against West Virginia
No. 19 Tiger Style picked up its third straight dual win with a 26-13 victory against No. 16 West Virginia, advancing to 11-7 and 4-2 in Big 12 play. That’s a very solid win after trailing through much of the lighter weight classes. Head coach Brian Smith has created a juggernaut of a stretch in […]

Takeaways from Day 1 of Mizzou Softball’s season
It is so great to be back watching and talking about Mizzou Softball! That being said, not the prettiest start for the Tigers on Day 1 of the NFCA Leadoff Classic. Mizzou went 0-2 with losses against Penn State and Oregon. The loss to the Ducks was expected, as they are No. 5 in the […]

IT’S SHOWTIME, BABYYYYYYYY. On Friday night, under the lights of Mizzou Arena, the no. 7 Missouri Tigers will welcome in the no. 2 Florida Gators for a battle of predatory animals in a rematch of the NCAA Semifinals that sent our fair Missouri Tigers to the National Championships and sent the gators packing their suitcases […]
Tiger Style Dual Preview: No. 18 West Virginia
This is an interesting time in the season for No. 19 Mizzou wrestling. The last three duals were all blowouts, two in favor of the Tigers and one as the victim against No. 5 Oklahoma State. There are three more duals left in the regular season, all against high-quality Big 12 opponents. Mizzou is coming […]
Commute: Can the NCAA wrestle eligibility back under control?
When 7th year 25 year olds are mocking 5th year 23 year olds… we’ve jumped the shark on eligibility. The main driver for NCAA related news these days seems to be lawsuits brought about to challenge eligibility rules. Since as long as I can remember the standard 5 years to play 4 seasons has been […]
Mizzou women’s basketball outlasts Arkansas for road win
