Missouri Basketball returns home to face the Georgia Bulldogs on Wednesday as the Tigers look to bounce back from a weekend loss at Ole Miss.

 Missouri has never lost back-to-back games under Frank Haith and is 7-0 in games immediately following a defeat, including a 2-0 mark this season.

 Mizzou is undefeated at home this year and handled Alabama 84-68 in its most recent contest at Mizzou Arena .

The Tigers will again be without the services of Laurence Bowers who is nursing a sprained MCL in his right knee and will be re-evaluated later this week.

With Bowers out of the lineup Missouri has just one player, Phil Pressey, who has played a complete season in a Missouri uniform .

Pressey is also the lone current Tiger ever to play a complete season with Head Coach Frank Haith.

 Missouri has been very good in league play under Haith and has won 15-of-20 conference games under the second year head coach .

The Tigers have won 11 of their last 13 league games dating back to Jan. 28, 2012, and are 9-1 in league games overall at home.
