One more chance.

Missouri basketball coach Dennis Gates' team will get one more chance to win a regular-season league game when it faces LSU on Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

LSU (16-14, 8-9 SEC), coached by Matt McMahon, is coming off the back of an 11-point loss at Arkansas on Wednesday, but had won four of its five games before the defeat in Fayetteville.

Missouri (8-22, 0-17), now on a program-record 17-game losing streak after its largest loss of the season to No. 13 Auburn on Tuesday, is on the verge of making some unwanted history.

The last time MU went through a conference slate and posted a zero in the win column was in 1908. Now, only LSU on the road is left before the SEC Tournament begins.

Here’s everything you need to know about Missouri’s final regular-season matchup of the year, including TV channel, streaming information, tip time and more:

Mike Morgan and Mark Wise will be on the call for the Tigers vs. Tigers matchup Saturday.

Last season, Missouri overturned a 13-point halftime deficit to beat LSU in Baton Rouge and complete a regular-season sweep of McMahon’s Tigers in his first year as their coach.

What time does Missouri at LSU start?

Date: Saturday, March 9

Time: 7:30 p.m. CDT

Both teams already know what day they will begin postseason play, but LSU is still jostling for seeding in its regular-season finale on Saturday evening.

LSU will open play in the SEC Tournament on Thursday after earning a first-round bye, and can take anything between the No. 7 and 9 seed to Nashville, Tennessee, depending on other results.

Mizzou, meanwhile, is stuck in the cellar.

Missouri isn’t just locked in to a Wednesday game at the SEC Tournament; Missouri has been locked in to the 14th and final seed for more than a week.

That doesn’t mean they’re looking ahead, as Gates said Thursday he will not change the way he approaches the rotation or distribution of minutes in preparation for the tournament.

“Well, (the) LSU game is the most focus that we're gonna put our time into,” Gates said. … “We can't overlook our opponent. We haven't done that all season.”
