FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - It’s rematch time for Missouri and Arkansas. With the SEC’s 18-game schedule, every team plays five of the other 13 opponents twice during the SEC regular season. Missouri (13-13, 5-8 SEC) plays the second of its five rematches Saturday at Bud Walton Arena, just two weeks after the Tigers held off the Razorbacks in overtime at Mizzou Arena.
Cuonzo Martin’s Missouri teams don’t have a great history in rematch games. In regular-season rematches the Tigers are 5-6, including this year’s loss at Texas A&M. Under Martin, Mizzou is 0-3 in the regular-season rematch after winning the first game, 0-1 in the rematch after winning the first game in Columbia and 0-4 any time the rematch is on the road.
