  • The SEC has fined Missouri $250,000 for its fans storming the court after the Tigers' 76-67 upset victory over No. 1 Kansas on Sunday. This is Missouri's second offense under the league's revised access to competition area policy that was adopted at the SEC Spring Meetings in 2023.

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has imposed a $250,000 fine on the University of Missouri following an incident where fans stormed the court after a men's basketball game against Kansas on February 24, 2024. This action was in violation of the SEC's revised access to competition area policy, which was updated in May 2023 to enhance safety and security. The policy now includes escalating fines for first, second, and third offenses within a three-year rolling period, with Missouri's fine reflecting a first offense. The game itself was significant as Missouri defeated No. 6 Kansas 73-64, marking their first win over Kansas since 2012. The fine aims to deter such fan behavior, which poses safety risks and disrupts the orderly conclusion of games.
