About 44 hours after the Border War ended, Mizzou gears up for a tricky road game at the Lloyd Noble Center, where they have lost two in a row since their upset win in 2006. Two things to watch early on in this one: 1) Does Steven Pledger make his first 3-pointer? 2) Does Marcus Denmon leave his first one short?

Full preview here.
