Missouri is ranked fourth, Baylor sixth and perennial power Kansas is eighth in both polls. Missouri, 19-2, dropped a road game in Oklahoma State, 79-72, but recovered with a convincing 63-50 hamming of Texas Tech Saturday and by slipping past Texas in Austin, 67-66, Monday night. The Tigers are led by 6’3” senior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 17 points and five rebounds from the wing. Inside, Missouri relies on 6’8” Ricardo Ratliffe, whose 14.7 points per game is second on the team and 6.7 boards each game leads the club.
