• Mizzou and Ole Miss square off for the second time this season. Mizzou is looking for its first win over the Rebels at home since a 98-79 victory on Feb. 9, 2013, as the Rebels have won four in a row in Columbia.
• Mizzou is coming off back-to-back wins in league play for the first time since ripping off five straight victories from Jan. 31-Feb. 13, 2018. The wins over Georgia and South Carolina marked the first time Mizzou beat two consecutive league opponents by 15+ points since Feb. 13, 2013. 
• Mizzou limited Georgia to just 39 points on Wednesday, the Bulldogs' fewest points scored in a home game since managing just 36 vs. Georgia Tech on Dec. 28, 1945. It was also the fewest points scored by a Mizzou opponent in SEC play since Mississippi State scored just 36 points on Feb. 13, 2013.

• He is averaging 9.9 points per game over the last 11 games, draining at least one triple in all 11 contests. In that span, he's scored 109 points and made 26 treys after notching just 79 points (4.6 PPG) and 18 treys in Mizzou's first 18 games.
