Dennis Gates’ Tigers are 15-4, coming off Tuesday night’s 61-53 loss to Texas in Austin. Mizzou is ranked #22 in the Associated Press (AP) poll. Mizzou Athletics says only 200 tickets remain for Saturday’s game against the Rebels. Tipoff is set for 5 pm on Norm Stewart Court in Columbia, and the first 2,000 fans will receive a Stormin’ Norman t-shirt.
