Big Weekend on Tap in COMO.

Mizzou Women’s Basketball has set the stage heading towards a big weekend in COMO. In a make-or-break season under head coach Robin Pingeton, the Tigers are off to a 2-0 start with two wins over MVC opponents (Belmont and Indiana State). In a 98-57 win over the Sycamores, Ashton Judd led the team with 31 points.

Up next: The Tigers are at SLU on Sunday afternoon — and the Billikens lost 78-66 to Drake in their season opener.

Moving onto tonight — it all starts at 6:00 at the Hearnes Center as Mizzou Volleyball looks to improve their NCAA Tournament resume against Texas A&M, continuing their five-game home stand. The Tigers host the Aggies as both teams are currently tied for fifth place in the SEC standings.

From the Hearnes Center to Mizzou Arena, Mizzou Basketball immediately follows Mizzou Volleyball. Missouri takes on the Penny Hardaway-less Memphis Tigers in an early season measuring stick game which could bode well for the NCAA Tournament resume come March — as this will very likely be a Quad 1 or Quad 2 opportunity.

Jimmy Dykes, who will be on the SEC Network call — says it’s a sneaky good game between “two teams destined for the NCAA Tournament.”

And on Saturday afternoon with a 2:30 p.m. CST kick-off on CBS — No. 14 Mizzou hosts No. 13 Tennessee in a key SEC East showdown.

Here’s what Mizzou Football is wearing for Veteran’s Day:

Nate Edwards and Brandon Kiley preview the much-anticipated game on the Before the Box Score podcast.

Then on Sunday, the weekend wraps up with volleyball hosting No. 24 Auburn — 3:00 p.m. CST on SEC Network-Plus.

Beat Memphis. Beat Tennessee. Beat Texas A&M. Beat Auburn. Let’s have a weekend, Tigers!
