2017–18 Missouri Tigers men's basketball team

The 2017–18 Missouri Tigers men's basketball team represented the University of Missouri in the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They were led by head coach Cuonzo Martin who was in his first year at Missouri. The team played its home games at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri as sixth-year members of the Southeastern Conference. On October 22, 2017, the Tigers renewed their rivalry against Kansas in an exhibition game for four different charities for Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Maria relief funds. It marked the first time the teams played since Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC. The event raised $1.75 million for hurricane relief. They finished the season 20–13, 10–8 in SEC play to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place. As the No. 5 seed in the SEC tournament, they lost in the second round to Georgia. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament where they lost in the First Round to Florida State.
