A promising start for Missouri men's basketball in its season opener against Memphis quickly fell apart after a second half collapse, leading to a stunning 83-75 loss.

The Tigers' losing streak continues from its winless finish in the SEC last season, but luckily, they get an easier non-conference opponent on Friday night to help alleviate their disappointing start.

Missouri will go up against Howard, a MEAC team coming off a 30-point loss to No. 1 Kansas in its season opener. Coming off an 18-17 finish last season, it should be a prime opportunity for the Tigers to start building some momentum before it goes up against the Jayhawks and Illinois in the rest of the non conference schedule.
