Rock-M-Tology: to be or not to be… in the First Four

We’ve made it to Selection Sunday, and the NCAA Tournament picture is starting to clear up for Missouri men’s basketball after weeks (if not months) of uncertainty.

NCAA Tournament Selection Show Sunday: How to watch

This past week and the next week have long been my favorite two week period in the college basketball calendar. Championship Week and the first week of the tournament. There are so many basketball games, so many stories, tons of game winners, and just generally fun games to watch. But the central event to each […]

Auburn sweeps the series against Missouri

Mizzou baseball had spurts of moments against N0. 6 Auburn, where it was close to picking up its first SEC series win but was ultimatetly swept by the Tigers in orange at Taylor Stadium in Columbia. Both of the Missouri starting pitchers in the doubleheader, Josh McDevitt and Brady Kehlenbrink, pitched six innings; the Mizzou […]

Tigers wrap up successful Mizzou Bye-Week series 4-0

Well, that’s feels nice, doesn’t it? Winning. In what has been a sub-par season thus far, it was nice to get on the right side of things and see the Tigers put all facets of the game together before heading back into the doldrums of SEC play again. “When you don’t have success,” Missouri head […]

Study Hall: Kentucky 78, Missouri 72

When Missouri briefly took the lead on a Mark Mitchell fadeaway jumper with just over 2 minutes to play in the game, it marked the full comeback from a dejecting 16 point deficit. They overcame a non-goaltend call on an obvious goaltend, they overcame a ‘neutral site’ crowd full of Big Blue Nation, they overcame […]

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 […]

Missouri baseball drops SEC home opener to No. 6 Auburn

The lights went out at Taylor Stadium for 95 minutes.

By the time the bulbs had flickered back on, a window for a Missouri rally had […]

Tigers Take The Plains Looking for First W at Neville

I can’t believe we’re here— the final week of the regular season!!!! Time has flown by; seriously, where did it go?

Commute: All praise WAB

Mizzou fans should be praising Wins Above Bubble after failing to get one last SEC win. Winning at Oklahoma, at home against Arkansas, or yesterday at Kentucky would have solved this issue. But most people believe the Tigers are still solidly in the NCAA tournament. Their WAB score is better than most others on the […]

Mizzou unable to complete second half comeback, falls to Kentucky 78-72

In the opening minutes of Missouri men’s basketball’s SEC Tournament matchup with Kentucky, the Tigers offense struggled to find a spark. Mark Mitchell attempted an alley-oop to Shawn Phillips Jr. that missed its mark, then Phillips committed MU’s first turnover just a few seconds later after he was stripped of the ball and it bounced […]

Spring Position Battles: Linebackers

Linebacker was one of the most experienced position groups on Mizzou’s defense in 2025, but the unit will look very different in 2026. The Tigers must replace their top tackler in Josiah Trotter, who moved on to the NFL draft, along with two extremely experienced veterans in senior Khalil Jacobs and sixth-year senior Triston Newson. […]

Cierra Harrison shines as Mizzou Softball run-rules UT-Martin

In what felt like a must-win game for Mizzou Softball after falling in four straight, the Tigers got it done with a solid run-rule win against a UT-Martin team that didn’t put up too much of a fight. Mizzou won 8-0 in a five-inning run-rule on Wednesday at Mizzou Softball Stadium. Coming into the midweek […]

Scenarios for how Mizzou gets into the NCAA Tournament

Missouri has yet to take the court in the NCAA Tournament, but I thought it might be a good idea to walk through a few scenarios for how Mizzou would make, or miss the NCAA Tournament. Before we go further, missing the NCAA Tournament is pretty unlikely, but the chance still exists. Making the tournament […]

Where does Mizzou stand in the NCAA Tournament picture?

Following consecutive losses to Oklahoma and Arkansas in the final week of the regular season, Missouri men’s basketball finds itself back in a familiar place heading into the SEC Tournament.
