Missouri and Saint Louis are set to renew their in-state basketball rivalry for the first time since 2001 in a neutral-site game at downtown St. Louis’ Enterprise Center. Both teams won their season openers, setting up an early test between Saint Louis’ experienced roster—strengthened by Robby Avila’s return to eligibility—and a Missouri team led by Mark Mitchell and bolstered by transfers and highly regarded freshmen. Saint Louis went 29-6 last season, while Missouri finished 20-13. A matchup preview gives Missouri the statistical edge after its efficient opening performance, citing stronger offensive and defensive metrics, though Saint Louis’ home-city setting could narrow the gap.
