COLUMBIA, Mo. — Awaiting Missouri men's basketball when the Tigers begin Southeastern Conference play this season? The defending national champion.
A Jan. 3 home game against Florida headlines Mizzou's SEC schedule for the 2025-26 season, which the league announced Wednesday. MU upset the Gators on the road last year and later lost to UF in the SEC Tournament.
It's part of a particularly thorny first four games of league action. After hosting Florida, Mizzou will visit Kentucky and Mississippi before hosting Final Four participant Auburn.
On the last Saturday of the season, the Tigers will host Arkansas on March 7.
