Matchups to watch section really gets one excited for the season.
Matchups to watch
Jan. 4 vs LSU — Now that the excitement of the Ben Simmons era is over in Baton Rouge, LSU isn’t as formidable as they were last season. Selecting matchups with Xavier or Arizona is pointless for Missouri because they will not stand a chance against either one of those teams. However, if they can compete with SEC squads who are nearly as inept as they are —especially in the conference home opener— then that’s a positive sign for the fans in Columbia.
Feb. 18 at Tennessee — Missouri was predicted to finish last in the SEC. The team ahead of them? Tennessee. With last place potentially on the line, the Tigers and Vols matchup could become the most pointless game with standing implications of all time.
March 4 at Auburn — Missouri’s final regular season game is against another SEC cellar dweller. At this point in the season, both programs will likely be fighting to avoid another 20-loss season on their resumés. Similar to the previously listed matchups, this game is all about which programs in the SEC are experiencing the most growth. Missouri can do themselves a ton of favors if they find a way to win all three of these games. Missouri also plays Auburn on Jan. 10 in Columbia.
