• ABOUT MISSOURI (12-1, 0-0 SEC):The Tigers have never lost to Georgia, and had a 79-62 win last season in Columbia.

That streak includes a perfect 9-0 record at home last season during Southeastern Conference play. … Tigers junior guard Jordan Clarkson enters conference play ranked second in both scoring (19.3 points) and assists (4.1).
