Missouri  fresh off of one of the biggest wins in college basketball this season, will travel to Oklahoma State to take on the Cowboys on Wednesday  at 6:30 p.m.

The game will air live on ESPN2 and will mark the Tigers' second consecutive road game.

Mizzou is of course coming off of its first road win over a top-five team since 1994 after defeating No. 3 Baylor in Waco, 89-88, last Saturday.

The win improved the Tigers to 18-1 and 5-1 in league play, placing them just a half game back of Kansas in the Big 12 standings

The win also improves the Tigers to 3-2 all-time in top-five matchups and 2-1 in top-five road showdowns .

The Tigers' win over Baylor last Saturday moved them to 18-1 on the season, which is the Tigers' best start since the 1981-82 season .

The win also moved the Tigers to 5-1 in Big 12 play, marking the first time that they have been 5-1 in league play since 1999-2000 when they opened league play at 7-1.

The tigers ae  75-40 all-time against Oklahoma State, including a 21-28 advantage in Stillwater. Mizzou dropped the last meeting to OSU, a 76-70 decision in Stillwater on Feb. 2 last season.

But despite that loss, Mizzou has won three of the last four meetings with the Cowboys.

 The win over Baylor on Saturday was due in large part to a great effort from Tiger senior Ricardo Ratliffe, who turned in a team-high and career-best 27 points while grabbing eight rebounds with two blocks, all against a Baylor front court that was billed as one of the best in the nation heading into the matchup.
