Rankings from AP poll

The 2023–24 Missouri Tigers men's basketball team represented the University of Missouri in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season and was led by second year head coach Dennis Gates. The team played its home games at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri as a twelfth-year member of the Southeastern Conference.

The Tigers finished their regular season without a win (0–18) in SEC play, the first time the team had not won a conference game since their 1907–08 season.[1] The team lost their opening round game in the 2024 SEC men's basketball tournament, bringing their final loss total to 0–19 in conference play.

Previous season

[edit]

The Tigers finished the season 25–10, 11–7 in SEC play to finish tied for fourth place. They started the season on a hot streak winning their first nine games of the season before losing to old Big 12 rival Kansas. Missouri won their next three, including a win against ranked rival Illinois and an win against ranked Kentucky. After being ranked for the first time under new head coach Dennis Gates, they would lose four of their next six games. The Tigers would finish the regular season winning four straight games heading into the SEC Tournament. They secured a four seed in the conference tournament, gaining a double-bye. Mizzou would play Tennessee and beat them 79–71. Missouri then would play the number one seed Alabama in the semifinals, but ultimately came up short 61–72.

The Tigers would achieve an at-large bid to the 2023 NCAA Tournament. The Tigers were placed in the South region of the bracket as a seven seed and would play the 10-seed Utah State in the first round. The Tigers won over the Aggies 76–65. In the second round, they would face the 15-seeded Princeton, but Missouri would bow out of the tournament with a 63–78 loss.
