KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Tigers men’s basketball team did just enough down the stretch to earn a bid to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Sunday.

The Tigers (20-12) earned a No. 10 seed in the West Region and will play the No. 7 seed University of Miami (25-8) Friday in St. Louis. The Tigers have the final game of the night in St. Louis, with an estimated tip time of 9:10 p.m. CDT.

Dennis Gates’ club lost to the Kentucky Wildcats in the second round of the SEC Tournament after dropping their last two games of the regular season.
