Corey’s Free Pick
Missouri was outclassed by Memphis last Friday, but they come into a very manageable bounce back spot here at home. The Tigers will make a trip to Minneapolis on Thursday, so we should see a sharper effort from them, as a pair of notable early non-conference losses wouldn’t be ideal. After struggling offensively against the Tigers, Missouri should be able to fix things out that end of the floor, so with some help from SIUE, let’s back the Over for this non-conference matchup.
