Last season, the Tigers demonstrated a strong offensive presence with an average of 78.9 points per game. Their ability to convert plays into points was evident as they made an average of 28 field goals per game, including around nine three-pointers and nineteen two-pointers. This scoring prowess will be crucial as they go up against the Bulldogs on their home turf.


Defensively, Missouri has been just as formidable. They averaged over ten steals and nearly three blocks per game last season, showcasing their ability to disrupt opponents' plays and regain possession effectively. However, maintaining discipline will be key since they also averaged about eighteen personal fouls per match.

The team's accuracy from the free-throw line was perfect last season – a statistic that could tip the scales in close encounters. Moreover, their true shooting percentage stood at an impeccable hundred percent – indicating efficient scoring when considering both field goals and free throws.


Rebounding has been another area where Missouri has excelled; pulling down approximately twenty-eight rebounds each game is indicative of their control over both ends of the court.
