Missouri Tigers volleyball is getting hot at just the right time.

The Tigers secured their seventh-straight win Friday night in a 3-2, upset win over No. 9 Texas. The win ties Missouri with Texas and Kentucky for the No. 1 spot in the SEC.

Missouri is just the second SEC team to defeat the back-to-back defending National Champions this season, joining Texas A&M. It's the first victory over a top-10 team for Missouri since 2016.

Missouri will look to continue the momentum under second-year head coach Dawn Sullivan in its final seven games of the season. Sitting at 16-5 on the season, the win over Texas could serve as a launchpad for the Tigers.

Friday's Results

• SEC Cross Country Championship: Missouri finished No. 5 in men's and No. 13 in women's
• Swim and Dive vs. Texas A&M: Missouri lost 168-132 in both men's and women's

• SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey issued a memo to teams to address players faking injuries in order to stop the clock. "As plainly as it can be stated: stop any and all activity related to faking injuries to create time-outs," Sankey wrote in the memo. Consequences for feigning injuries were also put in place.

Greg Sankey sent a memo to SEC coaches & ADs ordering them to stop directing players to feign injuries & instituting penalties that include, on a 3rd offense, a coach suspension, per a copy obtained by @YahooSports.
