All Things Mizzou Podcast: Men's Basketball Border War, Football Defensive Outlook

They might not be losing as much on the defensive side of the ball, but the Missouri Tigers have holes to fill in the transfer portal to continue to elevate its program.

With the transfer portal open, the Tigers might look to dip into the portal, potentially at the safety and linebacker position. Missouri has plenty of young talent currently on its roster, but finding a balance between that and experienced players will be important for next years team.

While all of this is going on, Missouri men's basketball plays arguably its biggest game of the season against the Kansas Jayhawks at Mizzou Arena. A lot will have to go right for Missouri to leave home court with a win, but this Jayhawks squad has weaknesses, primarily in its team chemistry and on defense.
