Mizzou basketball climbs into AP poll at No. 16

Off to a 5-0 start, the Missouri men's basketball team is back in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in nearly seven years. Cuonzo Martin's Tigers cracked the poll at No. 16 on Monday.

The Tigers, though, came in three spots behind No. 13 Illinois (4-2), the team MU defeated Saturday night 81-78 at Mizzou Arena.

The last time Mizzou was ranked in the poll came on Jan. 6, 2014 ... "Frozen" was No. 1 at the box office and Jameis Winston led Florida State to college football's national championship ... when the Tigers were No.
