Overview
- Tipoff is set for 12 p.m. CT in Kansas City with television coverage on ESPN2 and a livestream on ESPN+.
- Darryn Peterson has missed seven games since Nov. 7 with a hamstring issue but practiced the last two days and is expected to be available barring a setback.
- Missouri will be without senior guard Jayden Stone due to a hand injury that is projected to sideline him for multiple weeks.
- In Peterson’s absence, Kansas leaned on Flory Bidunga, Tre White and Melvin Council Jr., while the freshman averaged 21.5 points in his two outings.
- The Tigers are 8–1 behind Mark Mitchell and Jacob Crews, and both teams enter seeking a bounce-back after losses earlier this week.
