2016 SEC Tournament winner
As of February 10, 2016; Rankings from AP Poll

The 2015–16 Missouri Tigers men's basketball team represents the University of Missouri in the 2015–16 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Their head coach is Kim Anderson, who is in his second year as the head coach at Missouri. The team plays its home games at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri, and plays its fourth season in the Southeastern Conference.

Season

Missouri was coming off a disappointing 2014-15 season that saw the Tigers end the year 9–23, 3–15 in SEC play, to finish in last place. They lost in the first round of the SEC Tournament to South Carolina.

On January 13, 2016, Missouri announced that it was self-imposing a ban from postseason play in 2016 due to violations committed under the previous head coach, Frank Haith. Missouri vacated all wins from the 2013-14 season and will lose one of its men's basketball scholarships in 2015-16 and another no later than the 2017-18 season. [1]
