Tigers March to NCAA Tournament, Face Miami

0:00On March 15, Missouri's Tigers are heading to the NCAA tournament for the third time in four seasons under coach Dennis Gates. They grab the ten-seed and will face the seven-seed Miami Hurricanes on Friday in St. Louis. This is the first back-to-back appearance for the program since the 2012-13 season. Last year, Missouri fell in the first round to Drake. Fans are buzzing about the turnaround, especially after a rocky finish to the regular season. The team dropped their last three games, building real momentum questions heading into the postseason. Their final loss came in the second round of the SEC tournament, a 78-72 defeat against Kentucky. Now all eyes turn to that matchup in St. Louis, with the Tigers hope to extend their stay in the dance.
