Recently, the Missouri Tigers took down the former top-ten ranked Texas Longhorns in volleyball. Now, still unranked, the Tigers face an important home stretch at the end of its season, taking on the Georgia Bulldogs on November 5 and the South Carolina Gamecocks on November 10.
After upsetting the Longhorns on the road, the Tigers remained unranked in the most recent national poll. The win bumped them up to a 16-5 record, good for second in the SEC conference. The recent performances of Mychael Vernon and Jordan Iliff have propelled the Tigers to the top of the SEC, something that was not initially anticipated at the beginning of the season.
The next two matchups for the Tigers will be very important for Missouri in order to remain in the top section of the conference and keep its NCAA tournament hopes alive.
Nothing today.
