ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - The Missouri Western men’s basketball team will
travel to Columbia, Mo. to take on the University of Missouri Tigers out
of the Big 12 Conference on November 8th, 2007 with tip off scheduled
for 7:00 PM.
“With all the new guys on our team this year this should be a great
experience for all of us,” Smith stated. “It will also be good for
our program financially.”
This will be the first time since head coach Tom Smith’s arrival at
Missouri Western that the Griffons will exhibition a Division I
university.
The Griffons last played against a Division I school back in the
1977-78 season when they played UC-Santa Barbara and Pepperdine under
head coach Gary Filbert. The Griffons lost both games 93-72 and 51-42
respectively.
