Thanks to a schedule shift, the Kentucky Wildcats are flying high into Columbia, Missouri on Saturday coming off of back-to-back dominant wins against Mississippi State and Tennessee. Missouri is coming off of an off week following their first win of this season, which was against the defending national champion LSU Tigers.
Both teams have to feel good coming into this game, but in recent history Kentucky has dominated this series, winning the last five and going 7-3 overall against the Tigers. Missouri came into this season after a lot of turnover trying to find their footing, but they appear to be finding their footing under first-year head coach Eliah Drinkwitz, who went 12-1 at Appalachian State as a first-time head coach.
