Vanderbilt basketball vs. Missouri: Score prediction in matchup of teams with no SEC wins
Two SEC basketball teams will enter this weekend winless in conference games, and only one will emerge.
When Vanderbilt (5-15, 0-7 SEC) and Missouri (8-13, 0-8) face off at Memorial Gymnasium on Saturday (2:30 p.m. CT, SEC Network), it will be the battle for the bottom. The Commodores are on a seven-game losing streak and the Tigers are on an eight-game losing streak. Both teams have lost 11 of their past 12 games, with the lone win coming on Dec. 30 against a Quadrant 4 opponent.
Missouri has shown a bit more than Vanderbilt this season, with a No. 118 KenPom ranking (Vanderbilt is No. 193) and two wins over top-100 opponents in Minnesota and Pittsburgh. Both also have a Quadrant 4 loss: the Commodores to Presbyterian, and the Tigers to Jackson State.
Here’s what you need to know about the matchup:
Is this Vanderbilt’s best chance for an SEC win?
KenPom gives Vanderbilt a 43% chance of winning this game, by far the highest of any remaining game. The next highest is a 32% chance in the home game against LSU.
That doesn’t mean that if Vanderbilt can’t win this game, that it will go winless in the SEC. But this is by far the best opportunity of avoiding that fate.
Strengths and weaknesses
Vanderbilt’s issue on offense is simply that it cannot shoot, ranking outside the top 300 nationwide in both 2-point and 3-point field goal percentage. The Commodores do some other aspects of offense fairly well, though. They do not turn the ball over much, they can get to the free-throw line and they are a good defensive rebounding team.
Missouri, on the other hand, is a better shooting team than Vanderbilt, especially on twos. The Tigers also avoid turning the ball over, but they are the worst team in the conference at offensive rebounding and second-worst at defensive rebounding. Missouri does not get to the free-throw line much on offense and also fouls a lot when on defense.
Undersized teams
Missouri and Vanderbilt are both relatively undersized.
The Commodores’ tallest active player is Carter Lang at 6-foot-9. Missouri does have a few players taller, including 7-footer Jordan Butler and 7-5 Connor Vanover, but neither player makes a huge impact: Vanover averages 4.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 12 minutes per game and Butler averages two points and 2.1 rebounds in 9.4 minutes.
The Tigers do have one tall guard in Tamar Bates, who is 6-5. Bates is Missouri’s second-leading scorer with 13.8 points per game.
Despite the lack of size, the Tigers do excel at blocking shots, and everyone on the roster can generate steals thanks to coach Dennis Gates’ defense.

Score prediction
Vanderbilt 68, Missouri 64: With a manageable home game against the team with which it is tied for last, there is no better opportunity for Vanderbilt to get its first SEC win.

Arapahoe County Mounted Unit heading to Missouri for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) -The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) announced its mounted unit will be heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup to help out the Kansas City Police Department.
On June 9, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Patrol Unit deputies will travel to Kansas City to assist with security and crowd control during the tournament.
According to the sheriff’s office, the entire task force dedicated to the tournament will consist of officers from Arkansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio and Colorado.
They said three ACSO deputies and four horses will make the trip and assist in maintaining order and enhancing public safety outside Arrowhead Stadium during the following matches:
- Argentina vs. Algeria – June 16
- Ecuador vs. Curacao – June 20
- Tunisia vs. Netherlands – June 25
- Algeria vs. Austria – June 27
- Playoff game – July 3
- Quarterfinal game – July 11
The unit will also assist with the FIFA Fan Festival.
“Our mounted unit will serve as a highly visible law enforcement presence during the World Cup,” Lt. Rich Anselmi said. “Mounted deputies have an elevated vantage point that allows them to monitor large crowds and quickly identify potential security concerns. Our horses are highly trained and can move effectively through congested areas, help guide large groups of enthusiastic fans, and serve as friendly community ambassadors.”
ACSO said the horses have undergone training to simulate situations they may be in during the tournament, including exposure to smoke bombs, fireworks, flares and other loud noises. This training helps the horses remain steady, effective and safe during crowd control situations.
“We were honored to be invited to participate in the FIFA World Cup event. Our horses truly enjoy this type of work. By nature, horses like having a job, and we can see how much they enjoy the teamwork and interacting with people,” Lt. Anselmi said.

American Shaman agrees to suspend kratom sales in Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The largest distributor of kratom products in Missouri has agreed to suspend all in-state sales of kratom and its alkaloids, effective immediately.
The Missouri Attorney General’s Office announced on Thursday morning that Shaman Botanicals, LLC (American Shaman) will not sell any kratom product to Missouri consumers in stores or online.
“Kratom alkaloids, especially 7-OH, are dangerous opioids that carry serious health risks,” Missouri AG Catherine Hanaway said. “We stepped in to shut down deceptive tactics that put public health in danger. This resolution protects consumers by taking these products off Missouri shelves.”
The action ends litigation between the Attorney General’s Office, the Department of Health and Senior Services and American Shaman.
The business also agreed to abandon Missouri-targeted retail advertising, including billboards, within 30 days.
The Attorney General’s Office launched an investigation into the business practices of American Shaman in November 2025
In March, the Attorney General’s Office filed suit against American Shaman and companies connected with it.
Hanaway had alleged American Shaman advertised “free samples” of 7-OH despite its addictive nature, and frequently without disclosing the risk of addiction in its marketing.
“Retailers who use free samples and misleading marketing to hook consumers, especially those struggling with addiction, will face swift enforcement,” Hanaway said.
Missourians who believe they were harmed by kratom alkaloids are encouraged to contact the Attorney General’s Office at 800-392-8222 or by submitting an online complaint at ago.mo.gov.
