Missouri basketball forward Mark Mitchell injury update
Fifth-year Missouri basketball forward Mark Mitchell missed most of the Tigers’ game against Southern Illinois Edwardsville after he suffered a head injury injury in the opening minute of the contest. There is currently no available information on whether or not Mitchell will play for the Tigers in their next game, which is Sunday on a neutral court against Marquette in Chicago. "Mark, you know, I think he got cracked pretty good across the across the nose," Mizzou coach Dennis Gates said postgame. "I'm not sure if it was stitches or it was just a nosebleed. I'm not sure, but I trust our trainers, and we'll evaluate him, and we'll have something for you guys later on. But I just don't have that information." The star forward pulled in a rebound on MU’s first defensive possession of the game, but collided with SIUE guard Dahrio McCaskill as he came back down to the court. Mitchell, who was an All-SEC forward and led MU in scoring in each of the past two seasons, immediately fell to the court holding his face. Team trainers brought towels, and Mitchell appeared to be holding the towels to his nose. He went to the locker room

Updated Missouri football bowl game projections after Texas loss
The College Football Playoff is now almost certainly off the table for the Tigers. While a three-loss team could very well make it into the 12-team field next month, it’s unlikely to be Missouri football after its 34-20 loss to Texas on Saturday in Columbia. The Tigers were already at the bottom of a large two-loss bunch out of the SEC in the CFP’s initial top 25 rankings, and another defeat is not going to help the Tigers’ cause. The Tigers next head to No. 1 Georgia on Nov. 14 in Athens, and then Eli Drinkwitz’s team closes the regular season out on home turf with back-to-back games in Columbia against Kentucky and Oklahoma.

Missouri seeks SEC review after disputed fumble call in 34-20 loss to No. 8 Texas last weekend
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri athletic director Laird Veatch said in a letter to fans Monday that the school had asked the Southeastern Conference for "a formal review” of the officiating that took place in the Tigers' 34-20 loss to eighth-ranked Texas last weekend. Multiple calls went against the Tigers on Saturday. But perhaps the most costly, and most roundly criticized, was a fumble in the third quarter that gave the Longhorns a first down. Texas quarterback Arch Manning's hand appeared to be coming forward as the ball was released, but the officials called the play a fumble and referee David Smith upheld the decision after a video review. Three plays later, Texas scored the tying touchdown, and two more touchdowns in the second half put the game away. Veatch said Missouri officials would not make public any of their conversations with the SEC over the officiating, though he did say that “we have not received anything inconsistent with what the conference has already shared publicly.” Veatch said the bigger goal was to ensure accountability, and that he was a proponent of ”making necessary changes to improve.” “This experience has reinforced my belief that our lack of transparency in
