Mizzou hoops making a return to Kansas City

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Mizzou basketball is making a return to Kansas City for the first time in four years this December. The men's team is set to take on Seton Hall at the T-Mobile Center on Sunday, Dec. 17.

Game time and TV info will be announced at a later date, while tickets will go on sale later this month.

Mizzou and Seton Hall have met just one time before on the basketball court with the Pirates claiming an 88-71 victory during the 1992 NCAA Tournament.

MU last appeared at T-Mobile in 2019 for the Hall of Fame Classic. The Tigers last played a standalone game in Kansas City when they met Oklahoma State in 2014.

"Kansas City is a special place for Mizzou fans and we're looking forward to making our return there," Gates said. "Shaheen has a great track record as a head coach and I have no doubt that Seton Hall is a NCAA Tournament team. Playing in a game like this will not only help prepare us for a tough SEC schedule but also for national postseason play."
