Missouri baseball dropped the series opener of its weekend three-game series against No. 14-ranked Oklahoma on Friday evening.

Spring Vibe Check: Buncha maroons
With the current transitory nature of college athletics, vibes can shift dramatically from year to year, season to season and even month to month.

Mizzou scores commitment from Providence transfer Jamier Jones

Missouri in Pass Coverage: An Investigation
If someone on the street walked up to you and said “name the biggest issue Missouri’s defense has faced over the past three years” and gave you five seconds to answer, you’d probably respond “allowing big plays”. If you read anything I’ve written over the same time frame, you’d probably be able to dial down […]

Offensive slumber continues for Missouri in sweep against South Carolina
Mizzou baseball went into Saturday afternoon, looking to solve its latest offensive slump. The Tigers couldn’t quite find the key that opened that offensive lock, losing 6-4 in a game that, to put it lightly, came few and far between for the Tigers. “Unfortunately, not a very competitive weekend,” Mizzou coach Kerrick Jackson said. “As […]
