Summary
- Missouri aims for first-ever SEC road win at Rupp Arena.
- Both teams start SEC play needing strong conference slates.
- Kentucky leads the all-time series 16-3 against Missouri.

Missouri faces a significant challenge on Wednesday, January 7th, as they aim to secure their first-ever SEC road victory at Rupp Arena against Kentucky. This game marks the start of conference play for both teams, with both Missouri and Kentucky seeking to establish a strong footing after navigating a non-conference schedule impacted by injuries. Kentucky has historically dominated the series, leading 16-3.
The Tigers are entering this matchup buoyed by an upset victory over then-No. 22 Florida to begin their SEC campaign. Meanwhile, the Wildcats are looking to rebound from a recent road loss to No. 14 Alabama. Key players for Missouri include Mark Mitchell, leading in points and rebounds, while Otega Oweh and Denzel Aberdeen are top performers for Kentucky.
This contest is pivotal for both programs as they strive to overcome early-season setbacks and injuries. A win at Rupp Arena would not only give Missouri a 2-0 start in the SEC but also mark a significant milestone in their program's history against a historically dominant opponent.
