COLUMBIA, Mo. – Missouri coach Barry Odom has made it clear he likes his 2019 team. He doesn’t mind if others do, too. Asked earlier this summer about the Tigers popping up in preseason Top 25s, Odom didn’t flinch.
Postseason ban or not, expectations are high for Missouri across the Southeastern Conference, as high as they’ve ever been based on the league’s preseason media poll.
For just the second time since Mizzou joined the SEC in 2012, the Tigers were picked to finish third in the SEC East Division, as voted by media who attended this week’s SEC media days in Hoover, Ala.
