2026 Tournament PreviewThe Tigers had to sweat out Selection Sunday after losing five of their last eight, including one-and-done in the SEC tournament, but ultimately made the Big Dance for the third time in four seasons. Senior 6-9 forward Mark Mitchell (18.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 3.6 apg) is the key, leading the Tigers in points, rebounds and assists. Along with 6-10 Trent Pierce (10.6 ppg, 3.8 rpg) and 7-foot Shawn Phillips (7.7 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 1.5 bpg), the Tigers rank third nationally in average height (per KenPom). But while Missouri is strong on the interior, it struggles to close out the perimeter, ranking 330th in opponent three-point shooting (36.5 percent). Offensively, the Tigers are adept from all areas, with an effective field-goal percentage that ranks 34th and three players who shoot at least 38 percent from deep. The foul line (309th) gives them trouble, however. Missouri has five Quad 1 wins, all in SEC play, and no bad losses.
