Missouri Basketball season is here as the Tigers open up their 2025-2026 campaign on Monday at Howard. Despite some question marks entering year four under Dennis Gates — expectations are still high for
Mizzou as they return Mark Mitchell and Anthony Robinson II from an NCAA Tournament appearance last season.
In our latest SB Nation reacts survey — we asked who will lead Mizzou Basketball in scoring this season. Mark Mitchell overwhelmingly topped the list as fans expect him to be the senior leader.
Mitchell was previously named a preseason second team All-SEC member by the coaches.
ESPN and CBS Sports both rank Mitchell as a top 50 player in college basketball. For Missouri to reach their potential this year, it’s safe to say that he will need to live up to preseason expectations.
In case if you missed our preseason coverage — we predicted Mizzou to finish sixth in the SEC. You can also read up on our latest player previews on RockM+.
