Mizzou basketball (1-1) is set to host Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (2-1) for its third game of the season at 7 p.m. Monday at Mizzou Arena. The Tigers are fresh off a loss to 90-84 loss to the Saint Louis Billikens on Friday, the first loss to a mid-major program Missouri has suffered since its 2025 NCAA Tournament loss to Drake.
The Tigers now have a chance to rebound against the SIUE Cougars at home, with five-star freshman guard Jason Crowe Jr. at the center of that opportunity. He struggled against the Billikens, shooting three for 18 from the field and scoring just eight points in 35 minutes. If his 23-point performance against Cleveland State is any indicator on how he'll perform against less challenging programs, his chances of bouncing back against the Cougars are likely.
Starting bigs Mark Mitchell and Bryson Tiller will look to build upon their success against SLU, with Tiller scoring a career-high 26 points and Mitchell scoring 21.
Missouri will be mostly healthy for the contest tonight. Per Jon Rothstein, senior forward Luke Northweather, who averaged 3 points per game in 2025-26, is available to make his season debut after missing the first two games due to "precaution." Fellow senior forward Jaylen Carey is still out, serving a suspension that coach Dennis Gates said was due to a "violation of team rules," and freshman wing Aidan Chronister will remained sidelined with an injury to his left hand.
Missouri has rolled out the same starting lineup in both of its first two games of the season: Crowe, Trent Pierce, Toni Bryant, Mitchell and Tiller. Bryant played just 13 minutes and scored one point while Pierce scored three points in 23 minutes; Jamier Jones excelled off the bench, dropping 13 points and 10 rebounds in 19 minutes of play.
Gates has lineup flexibility and has changed his starting lineup around in nonconference play the last two seasons. Stay tuned here for live score updates, analysis and reports.
