Missouri basketball is in the final stages of organizing a neutral site matchup against Seton Hall, scheduled for December 17, 2023. The game is set to take place at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, providing the Tigers with a semi-home advantage against the Seton Hall Pirates, who are based in New Jersey. CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein first reported this development, although an official announcement date has not been confirmed.
Coming off a successful inaugural season under coach Dennis Gates, during which the Tigers achieved a 25-10 record and secured an NCAA Tournament victory against Utah State, Missouri is aiming to build on its progress.
While the team experienced significant departures from last season’s roster, they have actively bolstered their lineup through the transfer portal. Notable additions include six transfers, such as Tamar Bates from Indiana, Caleb Grill from Iowa State, and former Arkansas center Connor Vanover from Oral Roberts.
Returning players like Nick Honor and Noah Carter will play a crucial role in maintaining the team’s performance following the departures of key players like D’Moi Hodge, Kobe Brown, and Deandre Gholston. The Tigers are poised to continue their competitive trajectory as they navigate the challenges of the upcoming season.
