Season Opener Set.
It looks like we missed this news from a couple of days ago, but according to Rocco Miller, Mizzou Basketball’s season opener will take place on November 7th against Southern Indiana from the OVC — who will be making their D1 debut.
Missouri will host Southern Indiana as part of its 22-23 non-conference schedule.

Game is set for November 7th and will serve as the head coaching debut for Missouri's Dennis Gates.
The game will also serve as the D1 debut for the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles.#SEC #OVC
Southern Indiana joins kansas, Illinois, Iowa State, and potentially Liberty on Mizzou’s non-conference schedule — as DataMizzou’s Matt Watkins notes.
Non-con schedule is coming together piecemeal like it's known to do

Watkins added a little more background on Southern Indiana as they are no stranger to playing Power Five opponents — at least in exhibitions. Plus, some history on Mizzou Basketball coaches making their debuts.
Totally whiffed on this news.

In any event, Mizzou has it's season opener scheduled against a new team to the D-I ranks.
USI has played some exhibitions at HM schools recently. IU, Purdue, Butler and last year at Auburn where they trailed by 2 at the break and lost by 14. https://t.co/3Q4LAhvK81

Finally getting into some tape on #Mizzou target Trent Pierce. It's fun watch. Pierce drew Parker Friedrichsen as a defensive assignment, and it's a duel where Pierce's length comes up against Friedrichsen's ability to get a shot off in a phone booth.https://t.co/3vEUZfeahQ
