Missouri Tigers

Head coach Dennis Gates is entering his third year after a successful 25-win season just one year prior. The team struggled offensively, ranking 12th in the SEC in points per game and shooting percentage, while also struggling defensively. Despite losing key scorers, they have some returning talent, including top scorer Tamar Bates. They have added a strong transfer in Mark Mitchell. Currently, the Tigers are ranked 219th in offense and 297th in defense, with room for improvement in both areas.
