5 things to know about the Missouri Tigers

It seems that on a nightly basis in the SEC this season, Kentucky is facing a really solid backcourt, and Missouri is no different on that front. The starting backcourt for Missouri ranks fourth offensively in the Southeastern Conference, combining for 28.1 points per game. That number is negatively impacted by Missouri’s style of play, which is a slower pace and less threes attempted than a lot of other SEC schools, or else Missouri would probably be higher on the list. Starting at point guard is junior Xavier Pinson, standing at 6’2″ and 170 pounds. Pinson leads the team in both scoring, at 15.
