Missouri Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels Clash at Mizzou Arena
As the Missouri Tigers prepare to host the Ole Miss Rebels at Mizzou Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The upcoming game, set in the heart of Columbia, MO, promises to be a significant event for both teams.
The Tigers have had a mixed bag of results in their past few outings. Their most recent game against the Tennessee Volunteers showcased their resilience as they narrowly lost with a score of 67-72. Despite falling short, they demonstrated an ability to compete against top-ranked opponents by maintaining a close score throughout the game. The team's three-point shooting was impressive at 37 percent but was offset by a lower two-point field goal percentage of 38 percent and an equal number of turnovers and assists.
In contrast, during their encounter with Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Tigers struggled offensively and defensively. They scored only 51 points while allowing 75 points against them. A concerning statistic from that match is their turnover rate; they turned over the ball twenty times while only assisting on seven baskets – showcasing an area that needs improvement.
However, there is hope for redemption as Missouri previously secured a win on the road against Ole Miss Rebels themselves with a scoreline of 76-79 just weeks ago. That victory was characterized by strong free throw performance (83 percent) and better ball handling which resulted in an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.25.
The upcoming matchup will test whether Missouri can replicate its previous success against Ole Miss or if it will succumb to its fluctuating form seen in more recent games. With home-court advantage this time around at Mizzou Arena – known for its vibrant atmosphere – there's every chance that fan support could provide an extra boost needed for victory.
Fans can catch all the action live on March 3rd at 7:30 PM Central Time on SEC Network channel 611 or attend in person at Mizzou Arena located in Columbia where both teams will battle it out once again on familiar ground.
