Missouri is a perfect 4-0 all time in Rally for Rhyan games, including a win over Arkansas.
Sticking with hoops here... while the Mizzou Women’s Basketball team is also going through a challenging season in the post-Sophie Cunningham era, here is an awesome feature on star freshman Aijha Blackwell and her journey to Mizzou. Trust me, it’s a must-watch.

“The sky is the limit for what she can accomplish,” Robin Pingeton said. Blackwell certainly has a bright future ahead.
The Mizzou football coaching staff was on the road recruiting on Wednesday with some IN-HOME visits in the state of Mississippi. Here’s Eli Drinkwitz and Marcus Johnson with defensive lineman target Dylan Spencer.

Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is unlikely to play against the Rockets due to back tightness that he experienced during his pregame routine. He's expected to be day to day.
