How Trent Burns expanded his role — and Missouri’s rotation
Ahead of Missouri’s arrival in Starkville, coach Chris Jans’ scouting report likely framed Trent Burns as a stretch five keen to fire away from deep and occasionally finish around the rim. It probably didn’t budget space for the redshirt freshman’s arsenal of low-post moves. But only five minutes elapsed before Burns rolled to the right […]
First-Four Situational Records (for Jesse Bishop)
Friends, I must admit something: as most online writers are wont to do, I don’t really look at the comments on anything I write. But sometimes I do! Back on February 10th I posted a comparison of Missouri’s three football head coaches of the millennium and their records in certain situations. It was fun. It […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 88, Mississippi State 64
At what point were your nerves settled in watching this game? I think most fans go into a potentially tricky road game like this one with a bit of nerves for how the Tigers might play. But Mizzou opened the game with a simple 9-0 run, had a short 6-0 run shortly after, and then […]

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about how Mizzou Baseball might be figuring something out under Kerrick Jackson!

Mizzou women’s basketball falls short in upset bid against No. 7 Oklahoma

Pourover: Maybe they’ve figured it out
At the start of the new year, I published my annual new year’s day post regarding Mizzou Hoops, and things were very different than they are right now. People were down on the Tigers. They were 10-3, and ranked 65th in KenPom.com. They were predicted to finish outside of the NCAA Tournament conversation, and people […]

Tiger offense scares off Bulldogs in Game 1, reverts to former self in Game 2
On a lovely Saturday afternoon, the Tigers settled in for their final two games of the Mizzou Invitational — below-freezing temps canceled the Sunday matchup — hopefully letting the offense fly and the pitching do its thing.

Mizzou dismantles Mississippi State in Starkville, 88-64

Pimental’s shutout outing leads Mizzou to seamless victory over NDSU
In his longest outing as a Missouri Tiger — a night that included two pickoffs, five straight scoreless innings, and the kind of tempo on the mound he hasn’t been able to have in nearly two years — left‑hander Javyn Pimental headlined Missouri’s 11–5 win over North Dakota State on Friday at Taylor Stadium. The […]

GameDay: Beat State, silence the bubble talk
Hey, horray we’re here talking about Mississippi State again! If you want my previously stated opinion on the “rivalry” with Mississippi State, it’s here. The only reason there is a rivalry is because they seem to play each other a lot. But I doubt Mizzou fans, or MSU fans, think about the other ever whenever […]
