COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥� Missouri men's basketball will play Marquette in a neutral-site nonconference matchup set to take place Sunday, Nov. 15 in Chicago, sources familiar with the arrangement told the Post-Dispatch.

The marquee game will be played in United Center, the 23,500-seat home of the NBA's Chicago Bulls and NHL's Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago is also the hometown of MU coach Dennis Gates.聽

COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥� Will Missouri鈥檚 streak of consecutive first-round NFL draft picks continue? Can the Tigers challenge their recently matched record of six players selected in the draft?

Another strong pool of Mizzou products is expected to hear their names called at the 2026 NFL draft, which runs Thursday to Saturday in Pittsburgh.

COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥� It鈥檚 fitting that Missouri men鈥檚 basketball enters the dusky late stages of the transfer portal with three open roster spots. Look at what the Tigers still need to add this season and the numbers align.

More 3-point shooting is surely on the shopping list for coach Dennis Gates as he assembles his fifth Mizzou roster. More specifically, it鈥檚 guards with competent jumpers who will look especially appealing to an MU team that has plenty of size to put on the floor already but not as much in perimeter shot-making.

COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥� Ask new Missouri men鈥檚 basketball forward Bryson Tiller what he remembers about playing the Tigers last season and he鈥檒l give you a simple scouting report that looks like it鈥檒l apply to Mizzou next year, too.

鈥淟ong, athletic, good defensively,鈥� Tiller told the Post-Dispatch. 鈥淭hey were fun to compete against.鈥�

COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥� Nearly five years ago, early on a September morning, a basketball coach named Dennis Gates talked to a young prospect named Bryson Tiller.

They were both up-and-comers, as of Sept. 22, 2021. Tiller was a high school freshman at Pace Academy in his hometown of Atlanta, with a single Division I scholarship offer to play hoops at the college level. Gates was only 59 games, two seasons and one NCAA Tournament appearance into his head coaching career, having just taken Cleveland State to the big dance.

COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥� Missouri and Kansas have played each other in men's basketball more than 270 times. But never has a player traded a Jayhawk jersey for the Tigers' black and gold.

Until now.

COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥� Any one of the factors that, last December, made Missouri running back Jamal Roberts鈥� situation unique would鈥檝e been valid grounds to transfer.

Through three seasons with the Tigers, the former St. Mary鈥檚 star had received enough playing time to show he was a stellar tailback but not the kind of volume that most players of that caliber crave. Roberts couldn鈥檛 bank on there being significantly more touches available for his second-to-last season of eligibility either because All-American running back Ahmad Hardy is still in the picture.
