The Missouri Tigers (15-7 overall, 6-3 in Big 12 Conference play) head to Ames, Iowa, where they'll take on the 12th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones (20-3, 8-2) Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The game will be Missouri's third in seven days, after winning at home against Kansas State (70-66) Wednesday, and losing at Oklahoma State (69-66) Monday.

The game Sunday will mark the rematch of the classic four-overtime thriller played in Columbia between the two teams on Jan. 13th. Missouri won that one, 112-109, but the Tiger team that takes the court Sunday in Ames will look vastly different, as its top two scorers are out for the game. Please see page two of this release for more details.

Iowa State has won seven straight games entering Sunday's contest. Their last loss was the four-overtime game. ISU is a perfect 12-0 this year at Hilton Coliseum.
