University of Missouri men’s basketball is heading to Notre Dame as the Tigers are set to take on the Fighting Irish as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge, announced by the conferences on Thursday.
Winners of their first two matchups in the ACC/SEC Challenge, Mizzou travels to face Notre Dame on Tuesday, December 2. Game time and TV designation will be announced at a later date.
The Tigers and Irish have met on the basketball court on nine previous occasions with Mizzou holding a 7-2 lead in the all-time series. The series dates back to the 1980 NCAA Tournament when the Tigers posted an 87-84 overtime win to advance to the Sweet 16. The schools last met in the semifinals of the 2011 CBE Classic in Kansas City with MU tallying an 87-58 victory.
One of six schools between the two conferences with a perfect 2-0 mark in the challenge, the Tigers won at Pittsburgh, 71-64, in 2023 and defeated California, 98-93, at home last season.
The contest is the second announced road game for the Tigers’ non-conference slate as the team opens the season at Howard on November 3. Mizzou is coming off a campaign where it earned its second NCAA Tournament bid in three seasons, posted three top-five wins for the first time since 1988-89 and finished sixth in a SEC that earned a record 14 bids to the NCAA Tournament.
