How to Watch: South Carolina Men's Basketball at Missouri
The Missouri men's basketball team ended their up-and-down nonconference play on a strong note after decimating Central Arkansas 92-59 on Dec. 30, 2023. However, the start of 2024/SEC play hasn't been kind to the Tigers as they fell to Georgia and No. 6 Kentucky.
Missouri's momentum may have deteriorated a bit over the past few days, but so has its next opponent in South Carolina. The Gamecocks were on a six-game win streak before Alabama crushed them 74-47.
Nevertheless, Missouri's top priority is to achieve its first victory in SEC play on Saturday. That said, the Tigers will have some help from a home crowd.
