Season glance: Games 29-31 – Mizzou Today: Missouri Tigers Football & Basketball Recruiting

We’ve done it. We’ve made it to the end.

Through 28 games, I have Missouri sitting at 19-9 overall and 8-7 in SEC play.

Let’s finish up the regular season with matchups against Vanderbilt, Oklahoma and Kentucky.

Fun, I get to do this twice for the final version of the story.

I broke down Vanderbilt’s roster here in the first version of this story with conference games. I had the Tigers beating them.

The only update since then is the Commodores moved up from No. 95 to No. 81 in the KenPom rankings after beating Maryland Eastern Shore 102-63 to open the season.

Devin McGlockton led Vanderbilt with 24 points and 13 rebounds.

I remain unimpressed with Vanderbilt. So the Tigers get to 9-7 in conference play with a win and lock up at worst a .500 record in the SEC.

Here’s the second quick one.

I did the roster and schedule analysis of Oklahoma here just two stories ago in this series.

The Sooners moved up from No. 40 to No. 38 in the KenPom rankings after beating Lindenwood 93-60 on Monday.

Jalen Moore led the Sooners with 22 points, while Sam Godwin had a double-double of 11 points and 15 rebounds.

I remain unimpressed with Oklahoma, a win against Lindenwood isn’t doing much for me, but I do think by the end of the season, the Sooners will be playing better and take this game.

Finishing the season back at Mizzou Arena for the first time in a week and a half.

For the first time since 2008-09, someone other than John Calipari is leading the Wildcats.

Mark Pope takes over a program that went 23-10 overall last season and 13-5 in SEC play.

The Wildcats lost to Kansas and Gonzaga in non-conference play, but beat Miami, North Carolina and Louisville.

Kentucky struggled in late January with losses to South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee coming in a four-game stretch, but finished the season on a five-game winning streak.

The Wildcats beat Missouri 90-77 on Jan. 9 in the only matchup between the teams last season.

Kentucky leads the all-time series 15-3, but Missouri’s last win was just…
