The last time the Missouri Tigers took on the Oklahoma Sooners, it ended in a mind-blowing home victory for Missouri.

Now, both teams are in very different positions entering Tuesday night's matchup in Norman, Oklahoma. The Tigers are on the inside of the NCAA Tournament bubble, while the Sooners are one of the hottest teams in the conference, while also remaining at the bottom of the standings.

Regardless, Dennis Gates and his team can't take their foot off the gas pedal. The Tigers need any wins they can get at this point and falling to the Sooners would be viewed as a bad loss. Missouri has the chance to improve to 21-9 and 11-6 in the conference with a victory, which could also place them in a firm position to have a double bye in the SEC Tournament.

Follow along below for live updates throughout Missouri's second-to-last game of the season.

HALF: Missouri 26, Oklahoma 35

1:20 - Missouri 22, Oklahoma 33

Jadon Jones has eight points, leading all scorers. He's also hit two triples, which has been a pleasant boost for Oklahoma. The Sooners are shooting 54.5 percent from the three-point line as a team and 56 percent from the field.

4:21 - Missouri 18, Oklahoma 30

This deficit is becoming an issue for the Tigers. They can't manage to get any stops or score the ball. Missouri has no answers whatsoever for anything Poser and Oklahoma are throwing at it.

5:49 - Missouri 18, Oklahoma 24

While Phillips is being reviewed for a potential flagrant foul, the Tigers are slipping away. Oklahoma has again upped its defensive intensity and have been able to build a bit of a lead. It's finding easier ways to score, as well.

11:59 - Missouri 9, Oklahoma 11

The Sooners are continuing their trend of high-intensity defense and are forcing the Tigers into multiple hard shots. Mark Mitchell was an early answer on offense, but hasn't been all that consistent yet. Oklahoma head coach Porter Moser was also fired up enough to earn himself a technical foul, with T.O. Barrett only converting on one of the two free throws.

15:33 - Missouri 2, Oklahoma 8

The Tigers are off to an ugly start, especially Jayden Stone. Missouri can't get anything to fall and has already turned the ball over three times. Shawn Phillips Jr. is the only one to score for the Tigers at the moment, but he's committed two of Missouri's three early turnovers.
