In the midst of a roller-coaster season, Mizzou men’s basketball will face its biggest challenge yet this season tonight. The Tigers will host Auburn (18-1, 7-0 in SEC), a program that comes into Columbia as the number-1 team in the country. The last time Mizzou beat a number-one team in men’s basketball was February 4, 1997, when the Tigers upset No. 1 Kansas in a 96-94 double overtime thriller at the Hearnes Center. Auburn ascended to the nation’s number 1 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in school history on Monday. Mizzou is looking to rebound after an 86-76 loss at Alabama Saturday, a loss where the Tigers led by as much as 14 points in the 2nd half. Game time in Columbia is set for 7:30 and we will have the game here on KDWD starting pregame at 7.
