Missouri Tigers drop season opener at Memphis. They lost a 10-point halftime lead
The Missouri Tigers got a much-needed reset as the 2024-25 men’s college basketball season began Monday night at FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. It didn’t last long. The losing of last season — a 19-game slide to close out the year — spilled into the new one as Dennis Gates-coached Mizzou fell 83-75 to host Memphis.
