The Missouri volleyball team is part of a wild Wednesday in the Big 12 conference that will see the top four teams face each other. The No. 12 Tigers are on the road to face the No. 23 Oklahoma Sooners, while ninth-ranked Texas plays host to top-ranked Nebraska.
Oklahoma (16-3, 8-1) has won their last two matches after trailing in the contest. The Sooners came back from two games down against Texas Tech and also trailed Kansas State before winning in five games. The Sooners are in second place, one game ahead of the Tigers (13-5, 7-2), the only loss coming to Nebraska.
Mizzou knocked off then-No. 5 Texas, but lost later the same week to Nebraska in three games. Despite the loss, the Tigers moved up three spots in the polls. The road ahead does not get any rosier for Missouri after tonight. Once they finish against the Sooners tonight, Mizzou hosts Kansas State Saturday and then off to Lincoln for game two versus the Huskers.
