Meanwhile, after a string of four wins, Missouri's good fortune finally ran out last Saturday. They took a 73-64 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Jayhawks. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Missouri in their matchups with Kansas: they've now lost three in a row.

The Pirates' win bumped their record up to 6-4. As for the Tigers, their loss ended a four-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 7-3.

Sunday's matchup is shaping up to be a scrappy matchup: Seton Hall have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.3 rebounds per game. It's a different story for Missouri, though, as they've been averaging only 33.2 rebounds per game. Given Seton Hall's sizeable advantage in that area, Missouri will need to find a way to close that gap.
