The No. 14 Missouri Tigers are on the backstretch of the 2024-25 SEC slate of games, with the next one against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Both teams, in very different ways, earned statement wins in their last times out.

For the Commodores, the more big wins they earn, the better. They've done exactly that recently, stacking wins against No. 24 Ole Miss and No. 12 Texas A&M. Guards Jason Edwards and Tyler Nickel have been nothing short of great in that swing of games, with both leading the way in the scoring department.

The last two weeks of basketball for Missouri have been self-explanatory. With only one frustrating loss, everything else has been positive. From the offensive evolution of Mark Mitchell to the uptick in playmaking production from Anthony Robinson II, it seems like everything's been clicking for the Tigers as of late.

However, if the "trap game" label was placed on Missouri's visit to Fayetteville, which resulted in a loss, the same should be done for the Tigers' trip to Nashville. The Commodores are more than capable of taking down ranked opponents and this season, winning in Memorial Gymnasium has been more challenging.
