COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri men’s basketball team held its first official preseason practice Wednesday, but what exactly they’re practicing for is still uncertain.
Like most teams in the country, the Tigers don’t have a finalized schedule for the 2020-21 season. The coronavirus has put schedule-makers on pause for months, all while conferences have focused on reconstructing their football calendars. Mizzou’s rivalry game with Kansas in Kansas City is off the schedule. The Braggin’ Rights Game against Illinois in St. Louis is up in the air. Rather than play a Thanksgiving tournament in Myrtle Beach, MU plans to be part of a restructured event in Orlando, Florida, the details of which are still being completed.
