The Missouri Tigers aim to stay undefeated at home on the season, hosting the Ole Miss Rebels Saturday.

Both teams will be coming off to losses to teams in Texas, with Ole Miss falling to Texas A&M at home, and Missouri on the road to Texas. The Tigers are yet to lose consecutive games this season.

"I am impressed with our player's ability to recover from mistakes," Missouri head coach Dennis Gates said in a press conference Friday. "But our ability to get lost in the details and debrief from games, I think that's an advantage."

After shooting just 31.3 percent from the field, Missouri will hope to have an improved offensive performance against a physical Ole Miss defense. The Rebels mark of 65.5 points allowed per game is the third best in the Southeastern Conference. Ole Miss also leads the conference with 10.1 steals per game.

"They're great at poking and ranking and sort of stripping," Gates said. "They do a great job getting in those passing lanes and their steel rates create their offense."

A lot will be learned about Missouri in this matchup against Ole Miss, and in ones against No. 14 Mississippi State, No. 6 Tennessee and No. 13 Texas A&M that follow it.

Missouri has had an impressive start, making the Tigers a team to watch entering February. But what can Gates' squad make of the early resume?
