Fans nationwide will see Missouri under new coach Kim Anderson twice on ESPN’s Super Tuesday men’s basketball slate.

The Tigers’ game at Kentucky on Jan. 13 and a home battle versus Florida on Feb. 24 are among the nine SEC games selected for the Super Tuesday lineup.

Both games tip off at 8 p.m. on ESPN and also will be available via the WatchESPN app.

Kentucky and Florida lead the SEC with four Super Tuesday appearances, while Missouri, Georgia and LSU each have two appearances.

The Tigers have revamped since Anderson took the reins in late April, adding one of the nation’s better freshmen classes — Montaque Gill-Caesar, Jakeenan Gant, Namon Wright, D’Angelo Allen and Tramaine Isabell — and bolstering the backcourt with the addition of Hawaii transfer Keith Shamburger.
