A late Jacob Cruz three briefly gave the Tigers hope, but Georgia answered with an and-one in the final moments, sealing a crushing defeat. The loss drops Missouri to 3–3 in SEC play and puts even more pressure on the Tigers heading into a must-win matchup against Oklahoma.

Foul trouble limited Mark Mitchell early, while Jaden Stone and Trent Pierce provided key scoring sparks to keep Mizzou within striking distance late. Ultimately, missed stops, offensive rebounds by LSU, and a few clutch shots by the Tigers sealed the outcome.

Missouri continued its dominant play in Columbia, knocking off Auburn 84–74 to remain undefeated at home and improve to 3–1 in SEC play

After a slow start, the Tigers flipped the script with strong ball movement, timely shooting, and a gritty second-half performance that delivered their first win over Auburn since 2020 and a major résumé-boosting victory.

Trent Pierce delivered a career night, scoring 18 points while drilling five three-pointers and sparking the run that gave Mizzou control of the game

Mark Mitchell added 20 points and five assists as Auburn collapsed defensively, opening lanes and creating open looks for the supporting cast. Jaden Stone was once again a force, leading Missouri with 22 points, six rebounds, three assists, and a perfect 6-for-6 night at the free-throw line after returning from injury

Despite a late Auburn press that caused a few tense moments, the Tigers steadied themselves behind Stone’s key and-one and Dennis Gates’ smart late-game management to close out the win

With four players in double figures and renewed depth thanks to Pierce and Stone, Missouri continues to find its identity and looks poised for a strong SEC run as it heads into a favorable stretch of conference games.
