Notes and observations from Mizzou basketball’s open practice on Saturday
On Saturday afternoon, Mizzou basketball fans got their first look at the 2023-24 squad in-person, as the Tigers hosted an open practice at Mizzou Arena. Here were some notes on the practice in sequential order.
12:30: We arrived! Sections 112-116 were open to fans, which seemed pretty full for an open practice. Despite a social media post indicating future plans to re-paint the Mizzou Arena seats black, only the upper deck seats and student section are black. The lower level seats are still yellow.
12:38: Stretching began. Coach Gates thanked the fans for showing up as well as Desiree Reed-Francois, who’s also in attendance. Kobe Brown was there too, sitting off to the side.
