Missouri and Saint Louis Meet in St. Louis

The Tigers and Billikens will meet for the first time in 25 years, with both teams coming off decisive opening wins. The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT on November 6 at Enterprise Center and will air on ESPNU, with radio coverage on the Tiger Radio Network. Missouri holds a 21-19 advantage in the series.

Missouri began its season by beating Cleveland State 111-50, its largest winning margin in a season opener. Jason Crowe Jr. scored 23 points, while six other Tigers also reached double figures. Mark Mitchell recorded a career-best 10 assists, and Missouri had a 24-6 edge in fast-break points while committing four turnovers.

Saint Louis defeated Lehigh 92-67 on Monday. Kellen Thames and Quentin Jones each scored 15 points, while Saint Louis made 60% of its shots. Jax Kerr contributed eight points and eight rebounds off the bench.

Saint Louis will be without center Robbie Avila after the College Sports Commission rejected the team’s request to add him, despite his eligibility, because the roster already had 15 players. Missouri is also short-handed: Jaylen Carey is indefinitely suspended, Aidan Chronister is expected to miss at least four weeks with a hand injury, Luke Northweather missed the opener, and Annor Boateng is out for the season.
