How to Watch: Mizzou Basketball Hosts Alabama State
The Missouri Tigers will look to finish their non-conference slate with a win, hosting Alabama State Monday evening.
12 games into the season, Missouri has showed signs of significant improvement from the 2023-'24 season, where the Tigers finished winless in SEC play.
Even after a loss to Illinois in the Braggin' Rights rivalry, the Tigers are set to enter conference play with confidence. Before losing to Illinois, the Tigers were riding a 10-game win streak.
The eight-day break for the Tigers between their two final non-conference games was the third break of five days or more between games for Missouri during this non-conference schedule, an intentional scheduling choice by head coach Dennis Gates.
Once the Tigers begin conference play on Jan. 4 against Auburn however, Missouri will play three games in nine days. Ending the calendar year off on the right foot for the Tigers will be key as they enter 2025.
