The Missouri Tigers are off to a 4-0 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season and are now ready to take on the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils, who are on a disappointing 1-4 start to the season.
The Tigers are first in the Southeastern Conference and will host this matchup at the Mizzou Arena on Sunday (November 20) whereas the Delta Devils are part of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. They are desperately looking for a win but it will be a mountain of a task to get a positive result away from home against the Tigers.
Missouri Tigers vs Mississippi Valley Delta Devils: Betting Odds
The Tigers have won all of their opening four games this season and sit on top of the SEC Conference. Their first game was a high-scoring encounter against the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles (97-91), followed by another high-scoring game against the Penn Quakers (92-85).
Their third win came against the Lindenwood Lions (82-53) and their fourth win came against the SIU Edwardsville Cougars (105-80). There hasn't been a single player who has performed better than the rest of the players. In a different game, a different player has stepped up and performed for the team. This is a big reason why the team is doing so well this season.
The Delta Devils will have to come up with a solid plan to save their season. They have only one win and four losses so far. Their solo win came against the North Alabama Lions in their previous outing (76-88). They will be up against a difficult team in the form of the Tigers.

Missouri Tigers vs Mississippi Valley Delta Devils: Prediction
The entire starting five for the Tigers will be a major headache for the Delta Devils to handle. It can be anybody's game and he might end up scoring 25-30 points quite easily. The away team will have to come up with a solid plan and make sure to stick to it.
The two teams have not played against each other for many years now, but the current situation clearly favors Missouri. They are too strong an opponent for Mississippi at the moment. They are also hosting a game that gives them more advantage. Expect a straight win for the home team.
Final Prediction: Tigers -34 (-110) & Total Under 147.5 (-110)
