The No. 20 Missouri Tigers look to pick up an important ranked road victory against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

The Tigers are in the middle of an impressive and to some, surprising season. Head coach Dennis Gates has his squad playing great team basketball on offense and defense as they continue to rack up wins in the SEC.

Mississippi State won't be an easy matchup, however. They have a few big wins to its name, including Ole Miss and Memphis and played teams like Kentucky and Tennessee very close. Gates will have his hands full with the Bulldogs, especially on the road.

"Chris Jans does an amazing job and he has been his entire career. Mississippi State is a tremendous team, well-balanced. Defensively, we know what they bring to the table," Gates said. "Their grit, their toughness, that's something that is an identity of their program, always has and always will be."

The Bulldogs are led by flamethrower guard Josh Hubbard. He's averaging 17.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and three assists per game this season. Behind him is junior forward KeShawn Murphy, posting a career-best 10.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.

Missouri has now passed the eye test and it seems as if people across the country have an idea of what they can do. Now, capturing a coveted conference road win is next on the agenda.
