Missouri is back home Monday night, looking to regroup after its first loss of the season and get back in the win column against SIUE.
The Tigers are set for a 7 p.m. CT tipoff at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, their first game at home since falling to Saint Louis on Friday in a neutral-site matchup at Enterprise Center. Dennis Gates’ team is also in the middle of a busy stretch, with another neutral-site game coming Sunday against Marquette in Chicago after the SIUE meeting.
SIUE comes in at 2-1, with both of its victories coming against Division-III opponents, Eureka College and Concordia Chicago. The Cougars’ most recent game was a road loss at Lipscomb on Saturday, Nov. 7.
Monday’s game will stream on SEC Network+, which is available through ESPN+. Garrett Jones will handle play-by-play, Jarrett Sutton will serve as the analyst and Austyn Iven will report from the sideline. There is no traditional cable channel for the matchup, though fans whose cable package includes SEC Network can access SEC Network+ at no extra cost.
For those following along on the radio, Tiger Radio Network will carry the game with Mike Kelly on play-by-play and Chris Gervino as the analyst. The broadcast will air on satellite channel 268, with the Sirius XM app carrying it on channel 978.
Tickets are available on the secondary market, with prices starting at $7 on StubHub.
Missouri’s schedule keeps moving fast after Monday. The Tigers will face Marquette on Sunday, Nov. 15, then return home for games against Alcorn State, Le Moyne, Evansville, UAPB and Pittsburgh before the calendar turns to December.

Mizzou Got The Bounce-Back It Needed But A Bigger Worry Emerged
Missouri got the kind of response it needed after a rough stretch, rolling past Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 96-58 behind a breakout night from freshman Jason Crowe Jr. Crowe poured in a career-best 34 points and set a single-game freshman scoring record for the program, while Toni Bryant added 18 points and six rebounds as the Tigers shot 12-for-23 from three-point range and turned defense into offense by forcing 14 turnovers.
The bigger concern came much earlier than the final buzzer, when star forward Mark Mitchell left with a face injury and did not return. Missouri had plenty to like in the win, especially the way its young guards and wings helped carry the scoring load, but Mitchells status is the part that will matter most as the Tigers move into the next stretch of the schedule.

Missouri Suddenly Has A Mark Mitchell Concern Before Marquette
Missouris win over Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville was the kind of early-season result that can still tell you something about a teams depth, even in a lopsided game. Jason Crowe Jr. stole the spotlight with a team-high 34 points and a freshman scoring record, while coach Dennis Gates mixed in multiple defensive looks and got useful minutes from Toni Bryant and Trent Burns.
The bigger concern came when Mark Mitchell left early because of a facial injury, and his status now becomes part of the buildup to the next test against Marquette. Missouri has enough momentum from the blowout to feel good about where it is, but Mitchells availability matters because the Tigers are already heading into a matchup that will demand more than just scoring punch.

Jason Crowe Answered Mizzou's Setback As A New Concern Emerged

The response came with freshman Jason Crowe Jr. delivering a record-setting performance, pouring in 34 points for a Mizzou freshman while doing it with efficient shooting and giving the Tigers the kind of offensive lift they were looking for.
Mark Mitchells night, though, ended much earlier than Missouri would have liked. The fifth-year forward left with a facial injury and did not return, turning a comfortable win into a reminder that the Tigers may have a new concern to monitor as they move forward from the setback they just answered.
