Mizzou Basketball To Host Fan Appreciation Night vs. Colorado

Feb. 22, 2007

Columbia, Mo. - With the 2006-07 regular-season home schedule coming to a close, Mizzou Basketball is hosting a Fan Appreciation Night during its Feb. 28 contest with Colorado and will offer $10 tickets (limit 4) to help fill Mizzou Arena for the 6 p.m. tip.

Fan Appreciation Night also coincides with Senior Night for the Tigers. The Wednesday contest with the Buffaloes will mark the final regular-season home game for senior forward Marcus Watkins.

The Fan Appreciation Night ticket package will go on sale Friday Feb. 23 at 8 a.m. Fans can call 1-800-CAT-PAWS (884-PAWS in Columbia) or order on-line at mutigers.com. Tickets are also available through the Mizzou Arena Ticket Office.

Tickets for the Fan Appreciation Night package are subject to availability and will be for upper-level seats. This package will not be available on game day and the offer is not valid on previously purchased tickets.

So far this season Missouri has raced to an exciting 17-9 overall mark, which includes three consecutive Big 12 Conference wins and back-to-back home victories against Baylor and Oklahoma. Picked to finish 12th by a number of preseason publications, first-year head coach Mike Anderson has the Tigers in fifth place in the Big 12 standings, which would mark Mizzou's best regular-season finish since the 2003-04 campaign. In addition, Mizzou's five-game improvement on last season's 12-16 overall record is tops in the Big 12 Conference this season and the five-game improvement is the best for a first-year head coach in MU history.

The exciting backcourt of Stefhon Hannah and freshman Keon Lawrence continue to lead Mizzou. Since Lawrence's insertion into the starting five the Tigers are 4-1 in Big 12 play, including a 22-point win at Iowa State and a 75-64 win at No. 18 Oklahoma State.

Mizzou returns to action on Feb. 24 when the Tigers travel to Lincoln, Neb., to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Tip-time is scheduled for 12:47 p.m., as the Tigers go searching for their third consecutive road win in Big 12 action.
