The Tigers are 3-0 overall for the first time since 2013-14. The Tigers picked up their first win over a ranked opponent away from home since 2012 with their 83-75 victory over No. 21 Oregon.
Martin led his team to a gritty true road win over Wichita State. Mizzou beat the Shockers, 72-62, handing Wichita State its first home loss in the nonconference in 17 games.
