Columbia, Mo. - The University of Missouri Men's Basketball program added a fifth nationally-televised contest to its 2006-07 television schedule on Thursday, when the Big 12 Conference and ESPN announced that Missouri's Jan. 31 contest at Kansas State will be simulcast on ESPNU.

Originally slated for production by ESPN Plus, the game will still be carried locally on ESPN's regional network, but will also be broadcast nationally on ESPN's newest cable network, ESPNU.

Game time between the Tigers and Wildcats in Manhattan will remain at 8 p.m.

Tickets for Missouri's Jan. 31 contest at Kansas State and all other remaining Tiger games can be purchased by calling the University of Missouri Athletics Ticket Office at 1-800-CAT-PAWS.
