The No. 7 seed Missouri Tigers are set to battle the No. 2 seed Florida Gators in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals.
Missouri (22-10) limped into the conference tournament after a rough final stretch to the regular season, dropping four of their last five games, including three straight defeats to Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, and Kentucky. The Tigers finished seventh in the SEC standings but bounced back in the second round of the tournament with a convincing 85-73 victory over No. 10 seed Mississippi State.
Florida (27-4), on the other hand, entered postseason play riding a wave of momentum. The Gators closed the regular season in dominant fashion, winning nine of their final 10 contests, including statement victories over Texas A&M, Alabama, and Ole Miss.
