Missouri Tigers basketball is gearing up for one of their last three games of the 2024 calendar year and non-conference play. On Tuesday, they will host Jacksonville State at Mizzou Arena. This non-conference schedule has been nearly flawless for the Tigers. A remarkable 76-67 win over Kansas highlighted their recent form, and they have now won each of their last nine games. In fact, they have already surpassed their win total from last year. A victory over Jacksonville State and then Illinois would give them their best start since the 2013-’14 season.

Witness the Potential of Missouri Tigers' Rising Stars

Potential of Rising Stars

The nine-game win streak has truly showcased the potential of some of Missouri's rising stars. Take Anthony Robinson II, for instance. His skills on the court have been steadily improving, and he has been a key contributor in the team's recent success. Trent Pierce, too, has had a promising performance. In the recent game against Long Island, he put together one of the most outstanding displays of his young career, leading the Tigers with 24 points. He made five out of his 11 three-point attempts, demonstrating his shooting prowess. Another player to watch is Peyton Marshall. His presence on the court adds a different dimension to the team's game. These rising stars give hope to the Tigers as they look to build on their success in SEC play after a tough 0-18 conference record last season.
