The University of Missouri men’s basketball program will open the shortened 2020-2021 season next Wednesday night, November 25th, hosting Oral Roberts University.  The Mizzou athletic department has announced a 6 o’clock tip time for the game at Mizzou Arena in Columbia.

In addition to the game against Oral Roberts, Missouri officials have set a tip time of 7:15 for the Tigers home game with Liberty University on December 9th, and a 6 o’clock tip for the matchup with the Bradley Braves at Mizzou Arena on December 22nd.

Pregame on the Tiger Radio Network for basketball games, along with local affiliate KTTN-FM 92.3, hits the air 30 minutes prior to scheduled tipoff.

The university has announced that approximately 3,000 fans (20% capacity) will be allowed inside Mizzou Arena for Tiger basketball games, both men and women, this winter.  Assigned seating will allow for fans to stay 6 feet apart from one another.  Masks will be required at all times.  With Mizzou Arena transitioning to a touchless venue, cash is strongly being discouraged as a payment method for games this season.
