Missouri Tigers to Battle Arkansas Razorbacks at Mizzou Arena in Anticipated Matchup

As the Missouri Tigers prepare to face off against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Mizzou Arena, fans are eager to see if the home team can capitalize on their venue advantage. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 19th, is expected to be a thrilling encounter in Columbia.

The Tigers have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the Florida Gators at Exactech Arena, they fell short with 64 points against Florida's 73. Despite a strong showing in points from turnovers and an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 0.64, their three-point shooting was lackluster at just 17 percent.

Prior to that, the Tigers faced a tough challenge against Texas A&M Aggies at Reed Arena where they again scored 64 points but allowed 82. Their free throw accuracy remained consistent at around 71 percent across both games, but turnovers were an issue with nine lost possessions contributing to their defeat.

However, it's not all doom and gloom for Missouri fans. The last time the Tigers played on home turf at Mizzou Arena against Vanderbilt Commodores, they emerged victorious with an exciting scoreline of 85-82. They showcased efficient shooting from beyond the arc hitting nearly 39 percent of threes and demonstrated excellent ball distribution with an assists turnover ratio peaking at an impressive four.

Looking ahead to the clash with Arkansas Razorbacks, maintaining strong defensive pressure will be crucial for Missouri if they wish to contain their opponents' scoring threats. Fans can also hope for another stellar performance from behind the three-point line and fewer turnovers which could prove decisive in this matchup.

The game is set for broadcast on SEC Network; supporters can tune into channel number six hundred eleven or attend live in Columbia as these two teams vie for victory on January nineteenth at two AM UTC (January eighteenth local time).
