The Missouri basketball team will continue Big 12 play as it will square off against  Kansas State in its second true road game of the season at Bramlage Coliseum Saturday at 12:30 p.m. 


 Mizzou and K-State have met 233 times in history and the series is separated by just one game with Mizzou owning a slight edge at 117-116.

The Tigers have won three of the last five meetings but have not won at K-State since Feb. 28, 2004, when Jason Conley led Mizzou with 20 points in a 79-69 win.

Heading into the contest with the Wildcats, Mizzou remains as one of four unbeatens nationally (joining Syracuse, Baylor and Murray St.) as the Tigers are rolling under first-year coach Frank Haith.

After Tuesday's win over Oklahoma, Mizzou is now 14-2 in Big 12 home openers with its only two losses coming to Iowa State.

Kim English has been red hot over his last four games, shooting 54-percent from the floor (20-of-37) while connecting on an amazing 65-percent of his 3-pointers (11-of-17) and 13-of-14 free throws.

The senior is averaging 16 ppg and a 6.75 rebounds per game in that span as well.

English scored 23 points against Oklahoma on Tuesday, due in large part to 5-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc, good for his seventh career game with five 3s and third this season.
