Twelve games against NCAA Tournament Teams and a renewal of the Hy-Vee Hoops Border Showdown in Mizzou Arena highlight the complete 2024-25 Missouri men’s basketball schedule, announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Overall, the Tigers are set to welcome 20 schools to Mizzou Arena, highlighted by power-conference foes California in the SEC/ACC Challenge and Kansas in the Hy-Vee Hoops Border Showdown during non-conference play and nine Southeastern Conference foes following the New Year.
Mizzou is set to be challenged right from the start with a road date at Memphis on Nov. 4, marking the first time MU opens the season away from Columbia since the 2003-04 campaign. The Tigers then make their home debut on Friday, Nov. 8 when they welcome Howard to Mizzou Arena.
After five additional home games to finish the month of November, the Tigers open December with back-to-back games versus California (Dec. 3) and rival Kansas (Dec. 8) inside Mizzou Arena. Home contests versus LIU (Dec. 14) and Jacksonville State (Dec. 17) follow before the team’s final matchup before the holiday break against Illinois in the annual McBride Homes Braggin’ Rights in St. Louis (Dec. 22). Mizzou then finishes its non-conference campaign versus Alabama State on Dec. 30.
Mizzou opens SEC play on the road with a contest at Auburn on Jan. 4. MU then returns to Mizzou Arena to host LSU in its first home conference game of the season on either Jan. 7 or Jan. 8.
The Tigers are also set to host Vanderbilt (Jan. 11), Arkansas (Jan. 18), Ole Miss (Jan. 25), Texas A&M (Feb. 8), Oklahoma (Feb. 11 or 12), Alabama (Feb. 18 or 19), South Carolina (Feb. 25) and Kentucky in the regular-season finale on March 8. Mizzou travels to face Florida (Jan. 14 or 15), Texas (Jan. 21 or 22), Mississippi State (Feb. 1), Tennessee (Feb. 4 or 5), Georgia (Feb. 15), Arkansas (Feb. 22), Vanderbilt (March 1) and Oklahoma (March 4 or 5).
Mizzou is set to feature a new look in 2024-25 under the direction of third-year Whitten Family Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dennis Gates. The Tigers are one of three programs in the nation to feature a top-15 freshman and transfer class, welcoming the country’s No. 5 freshman group and the nation’s No. 12 transfer class to CoMo.
