Mizzou Men's Basketball begins its 2015-16 regular season at home with Wofford on Friday, Nov. 13, as part of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic. Tipoff is slated for 8 p.m. on SEC Network+.
Head coach Kim Anderson's squad rolled up points in a big way in exhibition action vs. Missouri Western (Nov. 6), winning 92-53 with four Tigers scoring in double figures.
The Tigers have an all-time record of 87-22 in season openers and 93-16 in home openers.
In Mizzou's last 41 home openers, the Tigers have an impressive mark of 39-2.
Anderson begins his second season at the helm with the retooling of his roster underway: six newcomers (four freshmen, two JUCO transfers) join the Tigers.
The Tigers also welcome two new staff members: assistant coach, Corey Tate (Missouri, '97) and special assistant to the head coach, Steve Shields.

About Wofford

Friday's game serves as a precursor to the CBE Hall of Fame Classic event held at Kansas City's Sprint Center from Nov. 23-24. Mizzou opens with former Big 12 Conference foe Kansas State on Monday, Nov. 23 (6 p.m., ESPNU) before facing either Northwestern or North Carolina (Tuesday, Nov. 24, TBD).
Coached by Mike Young, Wofford is picked to finish second in the Southern Conference a season after going 28-7 (16-2 SoCon) and earning both the regular season and tournament crowns. The Terriers' 28 wins were its most in program history.

Closer Look at the Terriers

Head coach Mike Young, entering his 14th season leading Wofford, returns three starters in senior guard Spencer Collins, senior forward Justin Gordon and junior guard Eric Garcia.
The Terriers must find a way to replace the play of graduate Karl Cochran, who led the team in all five major statistical categories, averaging 14.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks.
Collins was an All-Southern Conference Third Team selection a season ago, starting all 35 games for the Terries and averaging 11.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.

Last Time vs. Wofford

Kim Anderson was an assistant coach on legendary Mizzou head coach Norm Stewart's staff from 1982-85 and 1991-99, helping preside over a win in the Tigers' lone prior meeting vs. Wofford.
Mizzou defeated the Terriers in the Hearnes Center to open its 1995-96 season, winning by a score of 86-60 on Nov. 25, 1995.
Then a sophomore, Kelly Thames led the Tigers that day with 13 points. Senior Simeon Haley followed Thames up with 12 points. The two were part of five Mizzou players to score in double figures.
