Kansas State preview
Tonight's matchup against Kansas State is a huge one for the Tigers. Not only are they looking for redemption after a 88-72 rout in Manhattan, but Missouri also has a chance to guarantee at least the three spot in the Big 12 Tournament with a win tonight.
At the end of January, Missouri got beat by KSU in its own game. The Wildcats pressed hard and created the organized chaos that Missouri has looked for all season. The loss then and against Nebraska were the only times that the Tigers lost the turnover battle.
Kansas State is one of the few teams that Missouri has played that it doesn't match up well against. The Wildcat's bigs are a little bigger and their guards are just at athletic. Missouri must match Kansas State's defensive intensity and hope the Wildcats don't shoot 55.4% from 3-point land again.
