With the Missouri Basketball non-conference schedule being released this past week, we’re taking some time to look briefly into each of their opponents. First up was Incarnate Word, who you can catch up on here. Next up, the Tigers second opponent in a November 8th, Friday night matchup, against the Northern Kentucky Norse.
Northern Kentucky is a public state university located in Highland Heights, Kentucky. Hamilton Heights is roughly about 10 minutes away from downtown Cincinnati across the Ohio River. The Norse compete in the Horizon League, and were the Horizon League champions last year earning a 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, their second trip to the tournament in the schools seven years as a Division 1 program.
