Missouri Tigers Set to Battle Florida Gators at Exactech Arena

As the Missouri Tigers prepare to face off against the Florida Gators at Exactech Arena, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and statistics will play a crucial role. The Tigers have shown a mixed bag of performances in their last few outings, demonstrating both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their most recent game against the Texas A&M Aggies, the Tigers fell short with 64 points compared to the Aggies' 82. Despite putting up a fight, they struggled with personal fouls (29) and were outrebounded significantly, grabbing only 25 rebounds against Texas A&M's 42. Their shooting from beyond the arc was also lackluster at just 23 percent.


However, looking back at their home victory over Vanderbilt Commodores with an 85-82 scoreline shows that when on form, Missouri can be lethal from the free-throw line (87 percent) and efficient in ball distribution (16 assists). They also demonstrated an impressive ability to convert turnovers into points (18 points off turnovers).


Another away game saw them narrowly defeated by Arkansas Razorbacks with a score of 68-74. In this matchup, they managed to maintain a decent field goal percentage of around 44 percent but again faced rebounding issues.


The upcoming game venue could influence Missouri's performance as playing away has been challenging for them recently. Fans should look out for how well they manage fouls and rebounds while hoping for efficiency in shooting percentages as seen in past games.


The upcoming match is scheduled on January 14th at Exactech Arena in Gainesville, FL. Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network channel number 611 starting at 20:30 UTC.
