How Will Missouri Handle the Hype?

The Missouri Tigers are off to an 18-1 start (5-1 in the Big 12 Conference). The Tigers moved up to No. 2 in the national polls this week after an impressive win last week at Baylor.

But now the real fun begins for Missouri. How will it handle the favorable press, the back slaps and the celebrity status? We are about to find out tonight.

The Tigers play at Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are one struggling team with a 2-4 league mark and a 9-10 overall record. On paper, this is a mismatch. Missouri should blow the Cowboys out of their own arena.

But the paper trail doesn’t account for emotion. Oklahoma State should be fired up. A victory tonight would make its season. If Keiton Page, the Cowboy’s three-point specialist, finds his shot, things could be interesting.

Missouri has only seven scholarship players. If the officials blow lots of whistles, the Tigers could be in trouble.

Missouri is the now the hunted one after hunting teams in the past. It’s definitely a difference for the Tigers. The real challenge begins tonight.
