Missouri basketball faces Eastern Washington on Monday evening on Norm Stewart Court in Mizzou Arena. The Tigers, after beating Howard last Friday, are looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 3, 2023.
Mizzou (1-1) lost its season-opening game at Memphis after giving up a once-14-point lead on the road. The Tigers rebounded to end a 20-game losing streak by knocking off Howard.
Eastern Washington (1-1) lost its first high-major game of the season at Colorado to open the campaign. The Eagles, coached by former Gonzaga and Long Beach State coach Dan Monson, arrive in Columbia with a win in hand over Seattle.

We’re predicting Missouri comfortable earns its first winning streak since it won five straight over the course of last November and early December. The Tigers let Howard hang around on Friday with a dreadful night from 3, but still ran out 15-point winners. Eastern Washington is ranked No. 253 on the basketball analytics site KenPom, which is 29 spots lower than Howard.
Missouri’s 7-foot-5 freshman Trent Burns has missed the Tigers’ first two games of the season with illness. There is currently no word if he will be available to face Eastern Washington or not.
