Trips across the border haven't been much fun recently for the Missouri Tigers.
Earlier this season, the Tigers dropped their 12th consecutive game to the Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kan. Things haven't been much better for Missouri in Manhattan, and the Tigers will look to snap a six-game losing skid to Kansas State Wildcats today (11 a.m., ESPN-TV).
With 21st-ranked Missouri (22-6, 8-5) and Kansas State (19-9, 7-6) occupying fourth and fifth place in the conference standings, today's winner could have the inside track on the No. 4 seed and a bye in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament.
