Basketball Preview and Live Game Thread: Mizzou looks to survive and advance against Georgia

Things are a lot different from the last time Missouri entered the SEC Tournament. Instead of having a top-four seed, the Tigers are at the bottom of the conference and have to go 5-0 this week to keep their season alive. The long road begins Wednesday evening as Mizzou will face 11-seeded Georgia. In the last meeting between both teams, the Tigers lost 75-68 at Mizzou Arena in its conference opener.

Both teams are coming off regular season-ending losses. Mizzou fought hard in Baton Rouge, La., before falling 84-80 and becoming just the second winless team in SEC play since 1945.
