The University of Missouri men’s basketball team achieved a significant milestone on Wednesday night, defeating the No. 4 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide with a score of 110-98. This impressive win, witnessed by a sold-out crowd at Mizzou Arena, marks the Tigers’ third top-five victory this season and improves their overall record to 20-6 and their conference record to 9-4 in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). In contrast, Alabama falls to 21-5, with a 10-3 record in SEC play.
This accomplishment is especially remarkable as it only marks the second occasion in the school’s history that the Tigers have managed to secure three wins against top-five ranked teams, the first being during the 1988-89 season. Notably, Missouri is among just two schools across the nation this season to achieve such a feat, showcasing their competitive edge and resilience on the court.
Looking ahead, the Tigers are set to compete against Arkansas on February 22, 2025, at 7 p.m., offering another opportunity to further enhance their standings in a challenging season.
This victory is a promising indication of the team’s potential as they look to maintain momentum and strive for a successful postseason run. Fans can remain hopeful and excited as the Tigers continue to demonstrate their skills and determination during this impressive season.
