Missouri Tigers Surge in SEC, Nearing NCAA Tournament

Missouris Tigers basketball team, despite missing the top twenty-five in the latest USA Today coaches poll, has been making waves with a strong performance. They secured ten voting points, placing them at number thirty if the rankings extended that far. The team currently stands fifth, just outside the poll.

The Tigers have been on a roll, defeating then number twenty-two Tennessee at home and crushing Mississippi State on the road. This victory streak has brought their overall record to twenty wins and nine losses, with a ten and six mark in SEC play. Theyve won six of their last eight games.

In the SEC, Missouri ranks sixth in total voting points from the coaches. Other SEC teams like Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, and Tennessee also made the cut. Nonconference foes Kansas and Illinois also secured spots in the top fifteen and eleven, respectively.

While Missouri fared better in the Associated Press poll, grabbing forty points as the fourth team out and seventh in the SEC, they havent been ranked in the AP top twenty-five since March seventeenth, twenty twenty-five.

With this momentum, Missouri is poised for an NCAA tournament spot and a shot at a top-four conference seed for a double bye. Their late surge has kept postseason hopes alive and climbing.
