The Missouri Tigers will travel to face the Oklahoma Sooners in their final regular season road game. Missouri has likely secured an NCAA Tournament berth and is now focused on improving its seeding, while Oklahoma has won four of its last six games after a slow start to SEC play. The Tigers are led by the strong play of sophomore guard T.O. Barrett, junior forward Trent Burns, and redshirt freshman center Trent Burns.

Why it matters

This game is crucial for Missouri's NCAA Tournament seeding, as a win would significantly boost their chances of earning a top-four seed in the SEC Tournament and securing a double bye. For Oklahoma, this is an opportunity to continue their late-season surge and potentially play spoiler against a tournament-bound opponent.

The details

Missouri and Oklahoma last met in late January, with the Tigers capturing a thrilling 88-87 overtime victory on a pair of buzzer-beaters. In that game, Missouri was fighting to keep its NCAA Tournament hopes alive, but now the Tigers have likely secured a spot in the Big Dance. Oklahoma has won four of its last six games after a slow start to SEC play, including victories over ranked opponents Vanderbilt and Auburn.

  • The game will take place on March 3, 2026 at 6 p.m.
