COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou Women's Basketball will return to Mizzou Arena on Tuesday, Nov. 11, for an exhibition matchup against the Missouri Western Griffons. The Tigers and the Griffons face off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday for the third time in program history. The Tigers own a 2-0 record all-time against Missouri Western. Mizzou Arena doors open at 6 p.m. and admission and parking for the game will be free for all fans.

Mizzou opened its exhibition slate last week, hosting Lindenwood on Nov. 5. Mizzou is 1-0 in exhibition play as the Tigers topped the Lady Lions, 67-61, thanks to a 17-point effort from senior sharpshooter Morgan Eye.

Eye returns as the Tigers' leading scorer from last season. She averaged 12.9 points per game shooting 43-percent from the field. Eye has a chance to set the NCAA career three-pointers record as she is just 109 threes away from tying the current record. Eye has knocked down over 100 threes in two-consecutive seasons at Mizzou.

The Tigers are coming off of back-to-back postseason appearances as head coach Robin Pingeton begins her fifth season at the helm of Mizzou Women's Basketball. The Tigers look to continue laying the foundations of success at Mizzou. The team returns 10 players from the 2013-14 season including star three-point shooter, Morgan Eye, and adds three newcomers in freshmen Bri Porter and Carrie Shephard and junior transfer Juanita Robinson.
