What TV channel is Missouri basketball at Arkansas on today? How to watch Mizzou-UA
No. 16/15 Missouri basketball will take a three-game winning streak on the road for a matchup against coach John Calipari and Arkansas on Saturday in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Mizzou (20-6, 9-4 SEC) knocked off No. 4 Alabama 110-98 on Wednesday in a shootout at Mizzou Arena, moving the Tigers into a tie for fourth place in the SEC standings and just a game behind the Crimson Tide and Florida in a share of second.
With its résumé to date, Missouri has booked its spot in the NCAA Tournament and is now playing for seeding.
Arkansas (15-11, 4-9) has lost three of its past four games, most recently dropping a road game at No. 1 Auburn, 67-60, on Wednesday. The Razorbacks are currently a bubble team in the latest March Madness projections and likely need a signature win soon to bolster their shot at a spot in the 68-team field.
It will be the second meeting between the two teams this season. Missouri beat Arkansas 83-65 on Jan. 18 at Mizzou Arena.

FAYETTEVILLE – The University of Arkansas will celebrate the 1990 men’s basketball Final Four team on Saturday (Feb. 22) during the Razorbacks’ game with Missouri. Tipoff for the Arkansas-Missouri game is set for 7 pm (CT) at Bud Walton Arena.
Approximately 20 former players, coaches and support staff are expected to be present including Hall of Fame former head coach Nolan Richardson and Arkansas’ all-time leading scorer Todd Day. The team will be honored at halftime on the 35th anniversary of their memorable trip to the 1990 Final Four in Denver, Colorado. In addition, a special poster commemorating the 1990 season will be available for fans at Saturday’s game.
“We are excited to welcome Coach Nolan Richardson and his 1990 Razorbacks back to campus on the anniversary of their Final Four run,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek said. “This is the team that helped lay the foundation for the ‘Forty Minutes of Hell’ brand of basketball that brought unprecedented success to our program in the 1990s and built momentum that eventually led to the construction of Bud Walton Arena. We look forward to celebrating this historic team this weekend.”
Specifically, the 1989-90 went 30-5 overall, was 14-2 in winning the Southwest Conference regular-season title and won the SWC Tournament championship. In the NCAA Tournament, the Razorbacks beat North Carolina and rival Texas in the Midwest Regional to advance to the 1990 Final Four in Denver. Arkansas lost to Duke in the national semifinal game and was ranked #4 in the final coaches poll and #7 in the final AP poll (which did not include the NCAA Tournament games).
Not to be forgotten, many on that team came back the following year (1990-91) to lead Arkansas to an NCAA Elite 8 finish, a 34-4 record overall, 15-1 mark in winning the SWC regular season and a third-straight SWC Tournament. That team finished #2 in the final AP poll and #5 in the final coaches poll.
The 1989-90 team averaged 95.6 points per contest which was a school record only to be broken the following year at 99.5 ppg.

No. 15 Mizzou men set for rematch against Arkansas team on bubble — but not in Gates’ eyes
Missouri guard Mark Mitchell, left, drives on Florida forward Alex Condon during the first half Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025, in Gainesville, Fla.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — One team competing for seeding. Another team battling to stay on the right side of the bubble.
That’s the surface-level makeup of No. 15 Missouri and Arkansas, which will meet for the second time this season at 7 p.m. Saturday in Fayetteville, a nationally televised game on ESPN.
The Tigers (20-6 overall, 9-4 Southeastern Conference) enter their final five games of the regular season with a chance at cracking the top four seeds in both the SEC and NCAA Tournaments. The Razorbacks (15-11, 4-9) are in need of wins to make it into the latter postseason competition.
Mizzou beat the Hogs at home earlier this year, winning 83-65 on Jan. 18. Five MU players scored in double figures in that game, with forward Mark Mitchell and guard Caleb Grill leading the charge with 17 points apiece. Missouri led by 17 points at halftime of that contest after one of its trademark fast starts to an SEC game.
Yet both teams will look different for Saturday’s contest.
Mizzou carries the swagger of a tournament lock that stands to secure a high-end seed with appropriate performances in the five winnable games standing between now and the end of the regular season. ESPN bracketologist has the Tigers as a No. 5 seed entering the weekend’s games, and a win would expand the case for that projection to become a No. 4 seed.
MU could also climb the SEC ladder with a win and results elsewhere in the league, with the likes of fourth-place Texas A&M facing No. 6 Tennessee and third-place Alabama facing No. 17 Kentucky.
Seems like a jump in what this time of year means from the expectations even just a couple of months ago, no? MU coach Dennis Gates said Friday that this is the position the Tigers planned to be in.
“We talked about this in June,” he said. “We prepped (for) this June. We talked about our destination and the things that we will have to do. So for me, it’s back to work. … We’re just in this phase where others on the outside is starting to recognize, as they compare us to the others that they spent a lot of time watching. Now you’re watching Missouri, and I guess everyone likes what they see.”
That being the present calculus and sentiment for Mizzou shows a contrast with Arkansas, which needs three or four wins of its final five games to snag a spot in the NCAA Tournament field. Saturday is one of three remaining home games the Razorbacks, coached by legendary former Kentucky coach John Calipari, have to leverage any Bud Walton Arena advantage.
In that sense, the Hogs are a quintessential bubble team to most — but not to Gates, who took issue with the Post-Dispatch’s question about any added urgency on the part of Arkansas when that question described the program as on the bubble. He’s been steadfast in advocating for 14 teams to make the NCAA Tournament, and he was passionate Friday in arguing that the Razorbacks are already among that group.
“They’re not on the bubble,” Gates said. “They’re an NCAA Tournament team. They’re top 25 in my eyes and then our team’s eyes. We don’t go ‘bubble’ and ‘off the bubble.’ In every preseason publication, this team was ranked, what, top 10? They have not changed. Calipari has not changed his coaching style. He’s the same coach that everybody said was a top 25 team, top 10 in the country. That’s what we go off of.
“We don’t go with the ebb and flows of what opinions are from (the Associated Press Poll) and what they think — unless everybody watches every game. Which I am shocked if every voter watches everybody’s game in the top 25 to compare and put their votes in. The only room that does that (the NCAA Selection Committee) just announced only 16 (top teams, released last Saturday). That’s the only ranking that matters in college basketball. We wasn’t a part of that 16. They wasn’t a part of that 16. That’s all that counts. It’s two great basketball teams that I truly believe, in our conference, are NCAA Tournament teams. I don’t know nothing about a bubble.”
Now that’s a supportive opposing coach. Despite his conviction, there is one clear change from the Arkansas team that Gates saw last month and the present one: Boogie Fland, the freshman guard who played a team-high 33 minutes against the Tigers, hurt his hand in that game and is out for the rest of the season. That leaves the Hogs with an eight-man rotation.
Forward Adou Thiero and guard Johnell Davis are the two primary offensive weapons for the Razorbacks.
Though Arkansas has lost three of its last five games — albeit to top-eight opponents in Alabama, Texas A&M and Auburn — its defense seems to have improved. The only teams to have scored 80 or more points against the Hogs are MU and the Crimson Tide. In the last five games, the Razorbacks have posted the second-best defensive rating in the SEC.
“The depth is what it is,” Gates said, “but they’re prepared to play.”
Gates, in his third year coaching the Tigers, has been named to the Naismith Coach of the Year watch list, which includes 15 candidates for the award.
Having already spearheaded a remarkable turnaround from last season’s struggles — regardless of what the postseason looks like for MU — Gates is a strong contender for coaching accolades.
He would be the first Mizzou coach to win a national coach of the year honor since Frank Haith in 2012.
Three coaches from the SEC, widely considered to be the best and deepest conference in college basketball this year, made the watch list: Gates, Florida’s Todd Golden and Auburn’s Bruce Pearl.
