Bradley men’s basketball to play at Missouri on Nov. 29

PEORIA – Bradley added a key piece to its 2020-21 men’s basketball schedule, a source told the Journal Star on Thursday, with the signed contract for a Sunday, Nov. 29 non-conference game at Missouri.

The agreement is for just one game and no return contest to Peoria, guaranteeing Bradley a sizable check for its appearance in Columbia at the end of Thanksgiving weekend.

Missouri, coached by former Missouri State coach Cuonzo Martin, is coming off a 15-16 season and a 7-11 league mark, good for 11th in the Southeastern Conference. Martin is 33-30 overall in his three years at Columbia, taking the Tigers to the NCAA tournament in his first season of 2017-18.
