Last meeting and storyline

The most recent meeting between these programs came on Dec. 20, 2025, when Alton posted a 68-55 win over Couch (box score: https://scorebooklive.com/missouri/basketball/games/6190769-couch-vs-alton). Expect Alton to lean on that momentum at home; Couch will be looking for answers after that loss as it travels back into Comet territory.
