Why Missouri basketball has an opportunity vs. Vanderbilt: Prediction, scouting report
For Missouri basketball, Wednesday night was a perfect opportunity to pick up its first SEC victory. However, the Tigers failed to capitalize against a short-handed Arkansas team. Now in search of SEC win No. 1, Missouri will travel to face Vanderbilt on Saturday.
The self-inflicted wounds plagued the Tigers in its previous matchup. Missouri (8-13, 0-8) tied a season-high of 18 turnovers, marking the third straight contest where it tallied double-digit numbers in that statistic.
“You can’t have 18 turnovers at home and expect to win the ballgame or be in it,” coach Dennis Gates said.
Missouri’s 91 points allowed Wednesday was the fifth time this season it allowed 90-plus to an opponent. Arkansas got 56 points came in the paint, something Gates also said was a result of the Tigers’ carelessness of the basketball.
“Those points in the paint came from our turnovers,” Gates said. “They were able to extend those turnovers into 25 total points, so it wasn’t them shooting threes on the break, they were getting in the paint off those fast breaks and obviously executing off our turnovers.”
The Tigers next opponent, Vanderbilt (5-15, 0-7) , isn’t a team that excels in getting steals. Neither was Arkansas, meaning that no matter the opponent, the Tigers are going to have to play clean and efficient basketball. Vanderbilt sits at the bottom of the conference with Missouri, and is also aiming to get its first league victory at home.
Ahead of Saturday’s matchup (2:30 p.m. CT, SEC Network), here’s a look at the Commodores and how they stack up with the Tigers.

Vanderbilt’s rotation
The Commodores don’t have the offensive firepower off the bench that the Tigers have seen in their previous conference games. Freshman guard Jason Rivera-Torres has been the frequent sixth man for the Commodores. Averaging 18.1 minutes per game, Rivera-Torres has tallied 8.2 points per contest. Paul Lewis and Tasos Kamateros both average 16-plus minutes off the bench but each score under five points per game.

Reinforcing the offensive line has been a priority for the New Orleans Saints, who opened free agency by signing former Buffalo Bills left guard David Edwards to a four-year, $61 million contract. Even though the franchise has allocated plenty of resources to its offensive line, the free agency addition won’t stop them from seeking more offensive line talent.
The franchise is focused on protecting second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. If a starting offensive lineman is injured, someone must step up. Currently, Asim Richards is the only reliable backup for left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. or right tackle Taliese Fuaga. On the interior, Dillon Radunz would make sense as a reliable replacement if someone were to go down between Edwards, center Erik McCoy, and right guard Cesar Ruiz.
Drafting a promising offensive lineman in 2026 makes sense, as the Saints hold five Day 3 picks. It’s unlikely general manager Mickey Loomis will spend early draft capital on a tackle, but a late pick is logical. Missouri’s Keagen Trost, projected for Day 3, could fit this need.
Trost, 25, recently worked out privately with the Saints, a source told Saints Wire. The Missouri standout earned a 92.4 Pro Football Focus grade in 13 games last season, ranking No. 1 among 632 eligible collegiate tackles. He also allowed just one sack in 834 total snaps.
Trost’s high grades project him in the fifth round, and he offers versatility, including potential to move inside. At his pro day, he measured 6-foot-4 and 313 pounds. The main issue is his 32 3/8-inch arms, which are shorter than teams prefer for starting tackles. He has extensive SEC experience and strong college production to back it up.
Picks No. 150 and 172 in the fifth round are logical choices for New Orleans to consider selecting Trost. Multiple teams have shown interest in him; he had five pre-draft visits and recently held virtual meetings with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Atlanta Falcons, according to a source. While there are many highly regarded offensive linemen in this class, Trost’s versatility appears to set him apart from the others.
