I can’t believe we’re here— the final week of the regular season!!!! Time has flown by; seriously, where did it go? Friday presents a new chance for the Tigers to make program history; they have never beaten Auburn on the road at Neville Arena. While the (Mizzou) Tigers are on a quest to finish the […]

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 […]
How to Watch: Missouri vs Kentucky Basketball in the SEC Tournament
With Missouri having a first round bye for the SEC Tournament we spent most of the day today watching other teams play. Fortunately for the Tigers, they got their answer on who they would face quickly, as the Kentucky versus LSU game was the first one up. The Wildcats won, pulling away in the second […]
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 […]
SEC Tournament Preview: Mizzou looks to solidify spot in The Big Dance
Nashville is a city where dreams are fulfilled and shattered every day. Young country singers flock to the Music City to try and become the industry’s next big star. Some go on to make platinum records and win awards. Most don’t make it and head home with only a vision of what could have been. […]
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. The Tigers spent most of the last two months on the bubble, which we’ll define as the projected first eight teams in and eight teams […]

Mizzou has been on a roll securing its second Class of 2027 commit in a week by adding three-star offensive lineman Lual Aleu to give some protection to quarterback commit Braylen Warren and any future QB repping the black and gold. The news came on Monday night, just three nights after 2027 safety Jabarri Lofton […]

Photos of the week: 3.2.2026
Margo’s photos from one of the baseball games against UIC take the stage this week! The Tigers swept the Flames in the four-game series at home. The first two games were won by one run each and the last two were shutouts. Here are the photos of the week! Fun fact about me: I grew […]
“Ahmad Hardy beats his numbers from 2025”
It’s not often Missouri gets a player with such a standout performance to come back for another year. A big part of that was the Pinkel system that we operated under for 15 years, where underclassmen baked a little longer on the bench and upperclassmen typically got the starter-level snaps, only to shuffle off to […]
Study Hall: Arkansas 88, Missouri 84
As Trent Pierce swished a three to put Missouri into the lead with just over a minute gone in overtime, I had a moment where I thought the Tigers were going to pull it off. But on the next possession, the failed to collect two rebounds, giving Arkansas three shots at retaking the lead, and […]

Tigers earn highest road score of season in close loss to Georgia
Even a day-plus removed, I feel a wide range of emotions about Mizzou’s meet in Athens, from joy to irritation to anxiety. With just one meet left in the regular season, I don’t know what to expect, but I hope like hell it involves healthy athletes, sticky feet and equitable judging. Judging has been an […]
BREAKING: 2027 OL Lual Aleu commits to Mizzou
Don’t let Eli Drinkwitz get on a heater, folks. We know how that turns out. A few days after landing East St. Louis safety Jabarri Lofton, Mizzou’s 2027 high school recruiting class has added yet another member in OL Lual Aleu out of Winton Woods in Cincinnati. Rivals/On3 and 247 both have Aleu listed as […]
SEC Tournament Picture: Mizzou against the field
Heading into the final Saturday of SEC play there were a lot of scenarios where any number of teams could have ended up seeded in way different spots than they ended up in. The Missouri Tigers were not alone in their range of outcomes Mostly, Missouri only needed two things to happen in order to […]
Recruiting Reset: Jabarri Lofton is a underrated commitment for Mizzou
Remember the days when we used to worry about local boys going elsewhere to play their college football? I do. And they sucked. Eli Drinkwitz’s success at recruiting in-state football players since he arrived has been so good that it’s become a given. Whereas we would spend many a day hemming and hawing about whether […]
Mizzou Baseball can’t stop winning!
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re yet again talking about how Mizzou Baseball doesn’t seem to be able to not win at this point in time. After some early struggles in their weekend series against UIC, the Tigers figured things out on the mound and in the box, run-ruling UIC during the final two […]
