Missouri is a completely different team this year given they bring in respected head coach Cuonzo Martin along with some players to interject some life by into this program. Missouri has looked strong out of the gate standing 2-0 with home wins coming against Iowa State and Wagner, and now the Tigers get a great test today going into one of the tougher road settings in college basketball. Missouri has 3 players averaging at least 14 points per game and none of them or Michael Porter Jr. who's one of the most talented players in college basketball. Utah has gone against a very manageable schedule thus far handling their business getting past Prairie View and MVSU in convincing fashion. Missouri has a higher ceiling than Utah this year and the Tigers have shown some good signs early on under head coach Martin. They'll get a win on the road here Thursday night.
