In an unlisted video sent to the News-Leader on Mizzou Athletics' YouTube page, current University of Missouri head coach and former Missouri State head men's basketball coach Cuonzo Martin said the Tigers will be coming to Springfield to play the Bears in 2020-21.
"We go on the road, it's not final yet with paperwork, but we go on the road to Missouri State," Martin said in a #Mizzoom Inside the Huddle interview as well as saying his team will play Wichita State. "Two high-energy games."
This would mark the first time the two programs have played each other in a regular-season game since William Fontleroy dunked over Albert White when the Bears beat the Tigers on Nov.
