How to Watch: Missouri Men's Basketball vs. Mississippi Valley State
The Missouri Tigers are at home for the third straight game looking to claim its third-straight win over the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils. The Tigers are on the backs of a surprisingly narrow victory over Eastern Washington and still are looking for a confidence-building win for its team.
Sharpshooter Caleb Grill and Mark Mitchell were the two leading scorers, but Grill stole the show with his flamethrower shooting from behind the arc. He totaled 33 points and eight triples, propelling the Tigers over the Eagles 84-77. Even with the win, the Tigers still don't look as good as they would like as the non-conference slate progresses.
The Delta Devils are one of the worst teams in Division 1 college basketball, analytically speaking. KenPom, an analytic service, ranks them as the No. 364 team in the country. There are 364 current Division 1 teams, technically making them the worst of the bunch.
