Marquette vs Missouri: Neutral-Site Clash in Chicago

0:00On April 21st, Marquette's men's basketball squad is set to class with Missouri in a non-conference showdown next season. The Golden Eagles will hit the court against the Tigers on November 15th at Chicago's United Center. College Hoops insider John Rothstein broke the news on April 21st and the teams are wrapping up the deal right now. Marquette has been making Chicago a regular stop for non-conference action. Last year they dropped games to Indiana on November 9th at the United Center and to Oklahoma on November 29th at Credit Union, One Arena. It's all part of building that presence in the windy city. The school's athletic director loves tapping into Chicago's huge alumni and ticket holder crowd. He sees it as a smart move for fan engagement and boosting revenue, especially with college sports shifting toward more shared dollars outside home, markets. Marquette and Missouri have already tested each other in recent closed-door scrimmages. The Tigers are stacking a solid roster, bringing in five star recruit Jason Crow Jr. plus transfers, Jumeer Jones from Providence and Bryson Tiller from Kansas.
