Welcome to the Missouri Tigers 2022 men’s basketball season.
Thursday night’s 89-61 exhibition game victory over Division-III Washington University in St. Louis gave fans a glimpse of what could be to come, but the Tigers will take to Norm Stewart Court for their first official regular season game of the Dennis Gates era Monday night against Division-I newcomer Southern Indiana.
Both the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles and future Mizzou opponent, the Lindenwood Lions, made the move to jump from Division-II to Division-I prior to this season. For Southern Indiana, though, the contest against the Tigers will highlight the dawn of a new age of basketball for the team based out of Evansville, IN.
