Previous season

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.
