Missouri sold its final remaining tickets on Friday afternoon and with large crowds and a heavy traffic load anticipated, Mizzou Athletics is asking fans to plan accordingly, and that means arriving early for one of the Big 12's more exciting games of the year.
Missouri Basketball is 17-4 on the season and 4-2 in Big 12 action and ranks among the nation's top five in scoring at 84.8 points per game. Baylor (15-5, 3-3) has consistently been ranked in the Top 25 this season and is just behind the Tigers in the scoring column at 82.2 points a night.
