In this story:
After two games at home, the Missouri Tigers will hit the road for the second time in league play.
Through the first three games across the Southeastern Conference, it has become evident just how difficult it will be to win on the road this season. Out of the first 16 games of conference play, eight have been won by the visiting team, but six of the road warriors are teams ranked inside the top 10 of the AP Poll.
Missouri opened SEC play with a loss on the road to No. 2 Auburn. Its second road matchup won't be any easier, having to travel to take on the Florida Gators.
By the time Missouri tips off in Florida, the Gators will be a week removed from a 73-43 win over then-top-ranked Tennessee.
Missouri head coach Dennis Gates was still able to find positives when Missouri lost by 16 to Auburn, and will hope to do the same in this matchup.
