How to Watch: Mizzou Men's Basketball at Ole Miss
After 11 games, the Missouri men's basketball team still remains winless in SEC play. The Tigers sit dead last in the conference and are now two games behind Vanderbilt due to a buzzer-beating upset over Texas A&M on Tuesday night.
Mizzou has seven games remaining in the regular season and is aiming to not be the lowest seed in the SEC Tournament. They are running out of time to turn things around as even if they win the rest of their games, they'll finish with a sub-.500 record at 15-16.
Nevertheless, Missouri's rough season now shifts to spoiling March Madness hopes and seeding placement for the Tigers' upcoming opponents starting with Ole Miss on Saturday, Feb. 17. The Rebels are 18-6, including 5-6 in the SEC, but they've lost each of their last three games.
