The Morning Commute for Tuesday, February 4

Welcome to the Morning Commute

Today we’re talking about 15th-ranked Mizzou Hoops

Perhaps it’s time to start taking Mizzou Basketball seriously (if you haven’t already).

Following their 88-61 road win over Mississippi State on Saturday, Missouri moved up five spots to No. 16 in the latest USA Today Coaches’ poll, and five spots to No. 15 in the latest AP Top 25.

Elsewhere, John Fanta from FOX Sports ranked Mizzou 9th in the country.

There’s no doubt that Mizzou is playing like one of the best teams in the country right now. However, a road contest at No. 4 Tennessee on Wednesday night and a home date vs No. 10 Texas A&M on Saturday afternoon loom for the Tigers. It’s a challenging week ahead, but there are opportunities for this team to make even more of a statement.

Life in the SEC.

That profile is certainly is good enough to bump the Tigers up a seed line. In this latest edition of Rock-M-Tology, Mizzou comes in as a No. 5 seed.
