Mizzou Basketball announced its complete television schedule for the 2014-15 season on Monday, including dates and locations for a pair of exhibition games against William Jewell (Oct. 29) and Missouri-St. Louis (Nov. 8).
Missouri will return to Hearnes Center for the second consecutive year on Oct. 29 for its exhibition opener against William Jewell. The game is being played at Hearnes Center due to the installation of a new video board at Mizzou Arena.
Tickets for the exhibition game at Hearnes Center will be free. Fans will have access to open, general admission seating in Sections C and D, while seating in Sections A and B will be held for 2014-15 season ticket holders. Season ticket holders must present their William Jewell game ticket, which is part of their season ticket package, to gain entry into these sections.
New Tiger Head Coach Kim Anderson played four seasons inside Hearnes Center, including his senior campaign when the Tigers went 12-1 and he was named the 1977 Big Eight Player of the Year. Over his final three seasons, Anderson was an outstanding 37-2 at Hearnes.
Monday’s announcement also includes game time and network updates for five regular-season non-league games. Three of Mizzou’s non-conference games will appear on the SEC Network, giving the Tigers a school-record 10 non-conference games on national television (28 total). Added to the SEC Network package were the Nov. 16 game against Valparaiso, the Dec. 11 game against Elon and the Jan. 3 non-conference finale against Lipscomb.
Five games, including both exhibition contests, will appear on SEC Network +. Those tilts on SEC Network + include the regular-season opener vs. UMKC (Nov. 14), Oral Roberts (Nov. 19) and SEMO (Dec. 2). Games on SEC Network + are only available on WatchESPN.
The final five Southeastern Conference game times were also announced today. Two of those games will take place at Mizzou Arena. Missouri will host Tennessee on Jan. 17 at 5 p.m. CT and Ole Miss on Jan. 31 at 3 p.m. Road games include the Jan. 10 game at Auburn (6 p.m.), Feb. 21 at Vanderbilt (1:30 p.m.) and the regular-season finale at Mississippi State on March 7 at 5:30 p.m.
