Kansas State and Missouri could meet in the championship round of this year's Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Wildcats and Tigers were placed on opposite ends of the tournament's bracket, announced Thursday, which means they will play for a trophy if they each win their first two games.
K-State will open against Eastern Kentucky on Nov. 16 and then face either Northern Iowa or Penn two days later.
Missouri will start against Kennesaw State and then play either Oregon State or Old Dominion.
