COLUMBIA, Mo. (Matrix Midwest) - For the first time in the Dennis Gates era, the Missouri Tigers will be going to the NCAA Tournament in consecutive seasons.
Mizzou is a 10 seed in the West region and will face 7 seed Miami.
The Tigers were considered a bubble team by many experts, with three straight losses to end the season and blowouts in non -conference against Kansas and Illinois not helping their standing. However, their resume was boosted with wins over Florida, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Kentucky.
The Tigers will open the tournament in St. Louis on Thursday, March 20.
