Missouri was ranked in the most recent AP Top 25 Poll on Monday, checking in at No. 20 and receiving 329 points. It's the first time the Tigers have been ranked since coming in at No. 24 on Feb. 22, 2021.
Mizzou earned the recognition after taking down No. 19 Kentucky at home last Wednesday, 89-75, in the SEC opener. The victory moved the team to 12-1 on the year with two victories over ranked opponents.
The Tigers have received votes in the poll in three different weeks. They'd accumulated a season-high 57 points in the Week 8 poll after defeating No. 16 Illinois in the Braggin' Rights game on Dec. 22 in St. Louis, 93-71. The team is also up to No. 32 in the NCAA's NET Rankings and No. 33 in KenPom's ratings.
Missouri will look to move up even higher in the rankings when it travels to Fayetteville, Ark., to take on No. 13 Arkansas on Jan. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Everyone on here already has insurance (or they should). Everyone on here also cheers for the Tigers (or they should). In college sports the hot button issue is NIL. A school can no longer compete the way they did just a few short years ago without a robust NIL collective. In our economy, the hot button issue is inflation. Here’s your opportunity to see about saving money on something that the state requires you to have on your car and your lender requires you to have on your house. Oh and by the way, just a quote from James’s office will get a donation on your behalf to Every True Tiger Foundation, one of Mizzou’s NIL initiatives. Blink if you like saving money. Blink twice if you want to do everything you can to position your favorite college program to be as competitive in the SEC as possible. Give James’s office a call at 314-961-4800 or get a quote online at carltoninsurance.net.
