Indiana men’s basketball is continuing to fill out its non-conference schedule for 2026-27.
Per a report from CBS Sports, the Hoosiers are closing in on an agreement to host Missouri at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Friday, December 18. This will be a one-off game, with no return matchup in Columbia, Missouri connected.
The Tigers finished 2025-26 with a 20-13 overall record. They made their second consecutive NCAA Tournament, but fell in the first round. Missouri has appeared in March Madness in four of the last six years.
This will be Indiana and Missouri’s first meeting in over 20 years. The last game was on December 19, 2004 in Columbia, a 56-53 Tigers win. Mizzou has won the last three games in the series — IU’s last win was December 7, 1999 in Columbia.
The teams have played 18 games against each other, with each side winning nine.
This is the sixth reported game on IU’s non-conference schedule for the coming season. In addition to buy games against Eastern Illinois, Bellarmine, and Bowling Green, Indiana has neutral-site contests lined up against Syracuse and Kentucky.
