Mizzou’s nonconference home schedule is manageable with the biggest tests coming against Wichita State and Utah. The real challenges come on the road. The Tigers get SMU and possibly No. 20 Florida State in the Jacksonville, Florida, Invitational, then a trip to Liberty against a dangerous mid-major that’s played in the last two NCAA Tournaments. Over a brutal 19-day December stretch, Mizzou plays at No. 3 Kansas in the Border War revival; against No. 11 Illinois in the Braggin’ Rights Game in St. Louis; and at No. 10 Kentucky in the SEC opener. The rest of the SEC schedule includes four games against No.
