The Missouri Tigers basketball team has emerged on the national scene in recent decades, qualifying for the NCAA March Madness postseason tournament 12 times since 2000. The Tigers have made two trips to the Elite 8, losing out narrowly to the Oklahoma Sooners in 2002 and UConn Huskies in 2009. In 2023, the Tigers were eliminated by their namesakes from Princeton in the second round of March Madness, a disappointing end to a promising season. Fans will be hoping for much more in 2024!
