The lights dim, the music swells and another crowd files into the Hearnes Center. Long before the first serve, anticipation fills the arena.

Calculated Optimism: Setting a reasonable baseline for Mizzou basketball’s freshmen
It’s late June. Missouri’s roster is set and jersey numbers assigned. Newcomers are making introductions. The Tigers are spending time throwing weight around or getting after it in the practice gym. Sometimes, they hit up fan and donor events. It also means it’s time for another ritual: trying to set baselines for MU’s newest crop of freshmen. The Tigers will inhabit two worlds as they […]

Mizzou Hoops Player Review: Shawn Phillips
It was mid-April of 2025 when Missouri got a commitment from Arizona State transfer Shawn Phillips. I can’t say it was viewed through a positive lens at the time. After all, it was easy to see through the stats than Phillips had been a net negative while on the court during his three seasons at […]
Recruiting Reset: Kingston Miles is Yet Another Elite Running Back Addition for Mizzou
Missouri’s running back situation has been consistently one of the best positions in the country ever since Eli Drinkwitz took over as head coach, and a lot of that credit goes to Curtis Luper.

All Eyes On the Interior of the Defensive Line
We know Missouri fielded one of the best defenses in college football the past three seasons.

Four Tigers from the […]
Commute: Early 2027 NBA draft mocks are mixed on Jason Crowe Jr

Sam Vecenie from the Athletic, still had a mostly […]
