Mizzou Hoops Reportedly Adds Bethune-Cookman to 2025-26 Schedule
Mizzou Hoops Reportedly Adds Bethune-Cookman to 2025-26 Schedule originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Missouri Tigers men's basketball program is expected to add a new opponent to Mizzou Arena this winter. Advertisement According to a report in the Columbia Daily Tribune, Mizzou is expected to host Bethune-Cookman on December 14. The HBCU team out of Daytona, Florida, will be paid a reported $110,000 to compete in Columbia. Last season, the Wildcats went 17-16 before losing in the second round of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament. Missouri Tigers Head Coach Dennis Gates reacts in the second half against the Kentucky Wildcats© Gary Rohman-Imagn Images Bethune-Cookman is led by head coach Reggie Theus, a former NBA All-Star. Theus was drafted ninth overall in 1978 by the Chicago Bulls after an impressive collegiate career at UNLV. He was named an All-Star in the 1981 and 1983 seasons. Mizzou has also added Virginia Military Institute to its 2025-'26 schedule, with the game set for Sunday, Nov. 9 at home, falling on the same weekend the Tigers' football team is set to face conference foe Texas A&M. Though the VMI matchup is early into the season, it's unlikely to be the home opener. Advertisement In every season under head coach Dennis Gates, Mizzou has competed in three games within eight days of the first game. The Tigers announced May 21 that they will open their season on the road against Howard in Washington, D.C., on Monday, Nov. 3. Assuming they follow this timeline, there will likely be another matchup at Mizzou Arena scheduled in between the Howard and VMI tilts. The Tigers competed in 13 nonconference games in November and December of last season, which leaves room for six more opponents to be added this year.

Reacts: Concern brewing over the 2026 recruiting class?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Missouri Tigers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. One week ago today, Nathan Hurst published a column on this site asking if we should be worried about the 2026 high school recruiting class because, frankly, there weren't a lot of guys in it. His ultimate conclusion? Things may be different, but we shouldn't worry yet: Coupled with potentially a new strategy for investing NIL in high school players, it may be a much slower-paced recruiting cycle than Mizzou fans are used to. Let's just hope slow and steady really does win the race. Advertisement It should be noted, though, that things have already taken a downward turn. In the days following Nathan's column, both Anthony Kennedy, Jr., and D'Montae Tims decommitted from the Tigers, leaving Gavin Sidwar as the lone member of the 2026 class. I know Drinkwitz likes a slow spring... but this is a bit much, right? So for this week's Reacts post, we're asking you: Are you worried about the lack of recruits in the 2026 cycle? Will Drinkwitz turn things around, or is there trouble a-foot on the recruiting trail? We also want to know: What aspect of Drinkwitz's coaching ability do you feel most confident in at this point in his tenure? More from

'But I know what I want to be, I want to be a football player in the NFL."

Speaking to the Express, he said "We all get nervous, if you're not nervous at all, it's very rare. But I think nervousness is a good thing because that adrenaline keeps you going. "It's a weird feeling because you are performing in a studio for a live audience, you kind of just get wrapped up in that moment of the crowd cheering for you." 7 Colin shared photos of the recent trip to Barcelona Credit: Instagram Advertisement 7 He posted a photo from a yacht at sunset Credit: Instagram
