Missouri Tigers
Additions: forward Mark Mitchell (Duke), guard Tony Perkins (Iowa), guard Marques Warrick (Northern Kentucky), forward Jacob Crews (UT Martin)
Missouri was really good in head coach Dennis Gates’ first season in 2023, going 25-10 and winning a game in the NCAA tournament. The Tigers totally fell apart last year, losing 22 of their final 23 games (!) to finish as one of the most disappointing teams in America. Gates hit the portal hard in hopes of a bounce-back season in 2024-25, and he came away with some serious talent. Mark Mitchell was squeezed out at Duke by future No. 1 overall NBA pick Cooper Flagg, but he’s a 6’9 athletic forward who can attack the glass, score inside, and take on tough defensive assignments. Perkins is an experienced guard from Iowa who can blend scoring and playmaking and hound the ball defensively. Warrick and Crews are interesting bets on low-major stars: Warrick can create his own shot but struggles to hit threes, while Crews is a three-point sniper at 6’8. Gates didn’t just land a lot of talent — he also got guys who should fit together well.
