Missouri is one of the top jump-shooting teams in the half-court, ranking first in the Big 12 in points per play (1.14) and field goal percentage (41.3 percent).

Though they've excelled on short-and long-range attempts, they've been less efficient on medium-range shots (17 feet to the three-point arc), averaging only 0.70 points per play (7th) and shooting 33 percent (8th).

In their last three games vs Power 6 schools (Oklahoma, Illinois, Villanova), the Tigers are just 3-for-12 (25 percent) on mid-range jumpers and haven’t made more than one such shot in any of those contests.

Kadeem Green has decided to transfer from Missouri to be closer to his home.

Green, a 6-foot-8 redshirt freshman forward, is originally from Toronto and played his high school ball in Charlotte.

Missouri is undefeated, but only has seven players on scholarship.
