Photos of the week: 2.16.2026
This week’s column is another highlighting the great work by Margo Jenkins (@margoj_photography) and Dan Murphy (@danmurphmedia)! The two of them made the rounds this week and covered men’s basketball’s game against Vanderbilt, women’s basketball vs. Auburn and the gymnastics quad meet vs. Air Force, Ball State, and Illinois. Take a look at what they […]
Study Hall: Arkansas 94, Mizzou 86
Did you know Arkansas is a very good offensive basketball team? If you didn’t know before Saturday, you do now! The Razorbacks have the 4th best offense in KenPom.com’s efficiency ratings, and the best overall offense in conference play. They are behind Alabama if you include non-conference games, but against the rest of the SEC, […]
Mizzou Baseball bats stay hot in run-rule sweep
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about how Mizzou Baseball can’t stop scoring runs. After setting a record for the most runs scored in a game in 120-plus years last weekend, Mizzou traveled to Fort Meyers, Florida, this weekend and put a three-game punishing on New Haven, winning three straight run-rule games capped […]
Mizzou women’s basketball handled by LSU in largest loss in program history
Mizzou took LSU by surprise in Baton Rouge early on, opening the game on a 7-2 run. But LSU quickly corrected course, burying the visitors 108-55 to hand Mizzou its fourth consecutive loss. The 53-point margin was the worst loss in program history, breaking a record which stood for over 40 years. The previous record […]
Mizzou Wrestling Swept Away by No. 4 Iowa State in Regular Season End
Author James S.A. Corey once said, “You know who talks about moral victories? The team that lost.” He’s not wrong because there were plenty of moral victories for No. 14 Tigers Style in a 20-14 loss to No. 4 Iowa State. Mizzou looked strong, particularly strong from 141lbs-184lbs and two of those bouts were losses. […]
Pourover: What lies ahead
Mizzou got the win they needed this week. At the start of the week they needed to find a way to go 1-1 if they wanted to be IN the NCAA Tournament versus OUT, and Mizzou got themselves back in with a win over Vandy. Finding a win at Bud Walton would have been great, […]
A Look Back at the Stellar Careers of Mizzou Track Seniors and Veteran Standouts
Multiple Mizzou Track & Field athletes have been with the University for four plus years, but a few stood out in their careers the most in my eyes. Sam Innes Innes is an absolute star on and off the track. After watching him at several indoor home meets this year, I was struck by the […]
Foul trouble looms large for the Tigers as they fall to top-20 Arkansas 94-86
In Saturday’s tilt against the top-20 Arkansas, the luck of number 73 seemed to die out in Fayetteville. Heading into the game, the Tigers were a perfect 18-0 if they reached at least 73 points. However, Billy Richmond III and the Hogs matched Mizzou offensively and shut the door on the visitors. After both teams […]

GameDay: Go win in Bud Walton, make the NCAA Tournament
There is no such thing as the Batlle Line Rivalry as presented by Shelter Insurance on the basketball side. The Mizzou-Arkansas rivalry in hoops is a little less non-existant than what occurs in football, but I think it still exists to some degress. Mizzou fans and Arkansas fans don’t seem to get along all that […]

Quad meet Jammy Jam promises good vibes, high scores*
*hopefully Welcome to Week 8, y’all. Can you believe this is the last meet at the team’s new home, Mizzou Arena? Gotta make it count (literally, for NQS purposes, and figuratively, to showcase the venue). The Tigers are coming off of two historical wins, including last weekend’s victory in Lexington for the first time in […]
Commute: the NCAA has to abolish the Quads
It’s a dumb system, let me explain why I think so. Let’s talk about UConn, one of the teams with a track to possibly land an overall one seed in the NCAA Tournament. They’re 24-3, and fell to 10th in the NET after a recent home loss to Creighton. The Blue Jays are 73rd in […]
Turnovers take down Mizzou women’s basketball in home loss to Auburn
Mizzou women’s basketball went through an unexpected loss Thursday, falling to Auburn at home 71-58. Head coach Kellie Harper’s team fell behind in the first minute and never found the lead. Auburn led 18-8 after the first quarter and held that double-digit lead for most of the contest. The difference was simply a measure of […]
Study Hall: Mizzou 81, Vanderbilt 80
If anyone forgot, Missouri won a basketball game against a team with the second best NET rating in the conference. Vanderbilt is rated 15th in the NET as of this morning, and now Mizzou has pulled wins against the two top teams in the NET in the SEC at home. This game was probably their […]
Mizzou Wrestling Dual Preview: No. 4 Iowa State
The culmination of the regular season is at the doorstep for No. 14 Tiger Style. With a win against No. 16 Oklahoma on Feb. 12, Mizzou advanced to 12-7 overall and 5-2 in conference duals. It was won in blowout fashion – a 23-14 final score – spearheaded by a sweep from the 149lbs to […]
Hoopin’ and Hollerin: Tiger Tussle
After a disappointing loss on the road at Tennessee, Kellie Harper and Mizzou women’s basketball takes on a pair of fellow Tigers as they look to get back in the win column. That starts with a home showdown against Auburn on Thursday, before heading to Baton Rouge to play LSU on Sunday. Here’s what there […]
Spring Position Battles: Wide Receiver
No position group on Mizzou’s roster experienced more upheaval this offseason than wide receiver. Starters graduated, bound for the NFL, veterans transferred with eligibility remaining and a room that was already inconsistent in 2025 is now almost entirely rebuilt. The Tigers coaching staff responded to the turnover with a mix of proven portal additions and […]
Commute: Mizzou Hoops Isn’t Done Yet
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Hoops Well … say whatever you want about how that game unfolded — but Mizzou Basketball …. survived in a much-needed 81-80 win over No. 19 Vanderbilt on Wednesday night. At the end of the night, it will go down as a win on the […]
Anchor Down! Vanderbilt finds too little, too late and fall to the Mizzou Tigers
With 16 minutes to go in the second half, Trent Pierce drilled a three-pointer that had Mizzou Arena on its feet Wednesday night. It extended a Tiger lead to 11 points and they never looked back, minus a rocky final two minutes, of course. The team pushed an 81-80 win and sent the top-20 Commodores […]

Tigers Bats Go Quiet After Strong Start from JD Dorhmann
In freshman JD Dohrmann’s dominant five inning start, the Tiger bats and bullpen were not able to hold up their end of the bargain in Missouri’s 4-2 loss to Florida Atlantic Tuesday evening. Tigers Game Recap The Tigers had a scoreless first, second and third inning, as Dohrmann struck out four batters, including Nick Romano […]
How one lineup reveals the fragility of Missouri’s short rotation
At first, the substitution didn’t seem like a big deal. Anthony Robinson II stood at the free-throw line, hoping to finish a four-point play after Texas’ Chendall Weaver fouled him on a clumsy closeout. Robinson’s step-back three had just nudged Missouri ahead by one with 1:35 left in the half, and Missouri coach Dennis Gates […]
Commute: Make or break game coming up for Mizzou Basketball
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Basketball. After a tough loss to Texas over the weekend at Mizzou Arena, Mizzou Basketball stays in CoMo to take on ranked Vanderbilt in a game the Tigers could really use to keep their tournament hopes alive. Mizzou took care of business on the […]
Mizzou Gym gets the W but simply whelms in Lexington
Dear Readers, forgive me if I’m showing my age a bit here, but this gif, from the absolute CLASSIC 1999 movie 10 Things I Hate About You, is what came to mind watching Mizzou Gymnastics’ meet on what almost was a very unlucky Friday the 13th evening. Like Chastity Church, played by the un-aging Gabrielle […]
