The Tigers will also host South Carolina (January 13), Florida (January 20), Arkansas (January 31), Texas A&M (February 7), Mississippi State (February 10), Tennessee (February 20), Ole Miss (March 2), and Auburn (March 5) during league play.

Overall, the Tigers’ 31-game schedule comprises 17 home games and includes 25 matchups against schools from the top seven conferences in the nation. This includes six games at Mizzou Arena against teams that qualified for the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
Following a successful season that saw them secure 25 wins, their highest tally in 11 seasons, the Tigers are eager to continue their upward trajectory under the leadership of second-year Whitten Family Men’s Basketball Head Coach, Dennis Gates. During the 2022-23 campaign, Mizzou achieved victories over six nationally-ranked teams, won their first NCAA Tournament game in 13 years, and reached the SEC Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history.
