Missouri Black and Gold scrimmage set for Tuesday evening

Missouri men’s and women’s basketball teams will conduct the annual Black and Gold scrimmage Tuesday at Mizzou Arena.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with members of both teams signing autographs before the women’s team takes the floor.

The Tigers women have earned two consecutive postseason berths and return 10 players from last season.

Next, there will be a skills competition before the Missouri men take the floor for the first time under new coach Kim Anderson, a former Tigers star and the 1977 Big Eight co-player of the year.

The Tigers’ roster has been remade — featuring a top-ranked recruiting class with Montaque Gill-Caesar, Jakeenan Gant and Namon Wright.
