Identifying 'nucleus' of players among goals for Mizzou men's hoops' upcoming nonconference games

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri men’s basketball is getting cellular.

The Tigers resume play Friday evening after a scheduled week off between nonconference games, kicking off a run of three buy games before facing more high-major teams in the month of December.

MU (3-1) hosts Pacific at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 4 p.m. Sunday and Lindenwood at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The upcoming stretch won’t quite be the last time coach Dennis Gates can get experimental without putting wins in much jeopardy, but Mizzou is getting closer to the part of the season when getting a sense of its roster will be beneficial.
