MANHATTAN, Kan.&nbsp;&ndash; Former conference foes Kansas State and Missouri will play a home-and-home exhibition series each of the next two seasons beginning with a matchup on Friday, Oct. 24 at Mizzou Arena to open the 2025-26 season. The exhibition will be broadcast nationally at 9 p.m., CT with ticket information to be released at a later date. The Wildcats will host the Tigers for an exhibition during the 2026-27 season. The two schools have played 237 times in the regular season since 1907 with K-State holding a narrow 121-116 series edge through transitions from the Missouri Valley, Big Six, Big Seven, Big Eight and Big 12 Conferences. The schools have not met on the hardwood since an 82-67 win by K-State at the 2018 Paradise Jam. Missouri won 22 games a season ago, tying for sixth in the SEC with a 10-8 mark, before losing to Drake in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The complete 2025-26 non-conference schedule has now been released and can be found&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule">here</a>.
