The No. 15-ranked Missouri Tigers again proved to have all the makings of a team poised to do some damage in the NCAA Tournament in a win over No. 4 Alabama. The win moves Missouri to 20-6 on the season and 9-4 in conference play,

"I think we just have a lot of weapons," Missouri forward Mark Mitchell said. "We can beat you inside, obviously beat you outside."

A memorable evening for the Tigers was capped by a small fire that broke out at Mizzou Arena. Alarms went off while Bama coach Nate Oats was talking with the media. “Yeah, they were on fire tonight, that’s for sure,” Oats quipped. “That’s what was going on. We’ve known that for about two hours.”
