  "account": "Missouri's college basketball team will face Marquette in a highly anticipated matchup at the United Center in Chicago on January 30th. The Tigers are without key players Mark Mitchell, who is out with a concussion, and Jaylen Carey, who is suspended indefinitely. Marquette, led by Nigel James Jr., is coming off a loss to Michigan but remains optimistic about a potential return to the NCAA Tournament. Both teams will look to control the paint and limit the opposing guard's effectiveness, with Marquette relying on Nigel James Jr. and Missouri counting on Jamier Jones and Kennard Davis Jr. to provide defensive intensity.",
  "summary": "The Tigers and Golden Eagles have squared off in secret scrimmages the past few years. This time, the outcome counts.",
