How to Watch: Florida Men's Basketball at Missouri
The Missouri men's basketball team started the season with a very respectable 7-2 record, but since then the Tigers have lost seven of their last eight games, including each of their first four SEC contests.
It's clear that the Tigers are in a bit of a slump and are desperate to get out of it, as the schedule only gets tougher from here.
The Florida Gators, Mizzou's next opponent, have also struggled recently, as they've lost three of their last four games, despite entering SEC play with a 10-3 record. The Tigers will host Florida on Saturday, aiming to end the losing streak with a statement victory, which will hopefully begin to turn the season around.
