The Missouri Tigers (19-6, 8-4 SEC) face perhaps the biggest challenge remaining on their regular season schedule Wednesday, hosting the No. 4-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (21-4, 10-2 SEC).

A win over the Crimson Tide would continue to build the case for Missouri as a contender to make a run in the NCAA Tournament amongst a competitive Southeastern Conference.

Before this season, Missouri hadn't hosted a top-15 matchup since 2012. Now, it will happen two times in a span of 11 days, with Missouri hosting No. 10 Texas A&M. The Tigers fell to the Aggies on a 3-point shot made by Wade Taylor IV with less than three seconds remaining.

To preview the matchup with Alabama, reporters for Missouri Tigers On SI — Joey Van Zummeren and Michael Stamps — gave their thoughts on the latest episode of the "All Things Mizzou" podcast.
