Home court advantage
After a key, yet very scary victory at Oklahoma State Wednesday night the Tigers must carry their momentum back home to Mizzou Arena. Missouri held a 20 point lead in the second half against the Cowboys, but had to hold off a late run. MU eventually escaped by a 97-95 margin.
Missouri currently holds a three-game winning streak after opening up conference play with a loss at Nebraska. Texas Tech enters today's game 11-7 and 1-2 in the Big 12. The Tigers can't afford to let one slip so early in the season at home.
Today's matchup should rack up the largest attendance of the season thus far. Seats all throughout the arena are beginning to fill up with about five minutes until the tipoff.
