Missouri men’s basketball preview: Vanderbilt visits Columbia

Missouri and Vanderbilt have generally resided amongst the bottom of the SEC standings in recent years. In 2023, the Tigers have managed to escape, while the Commodores are still looking for a way out in Jerry Stackhouse’s fourth season at the helm.

Vanderbilt is fresh off a 19-17 season, their best under Stackhouse, but an up-and-down 8-6 start to the season has left the Commodore faithful disgruntled. A road win over Missouri would be just what the doctor ordered for this team.

For the Tigers, they now enter the two-game-a-week grind of conference play, meaning that games are going to get a lot tougher and the resilience of this group will be put to the test.
