Missouri women’s basketball has a good idea of what its 2025-26 slate will entail.
The Southeastern Conference announced the opponents for each of its programs Tuesday. The Tigers will play 16 conference games, with their rotating opponent being Arkansas. Times, dates and TV designations have yet to be announced.
In what will be her first season at the helm, Kellie Harper and her Tigers will host Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
MU will face Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Arkansas on the road.
The meeting with the Lady Volunteers will be Harper’s first against her alma mater and previous coaching stop, where she was at the helm from 2019-24. She led Tennessee to four NCAA Tournament appearances and the Sweet 16 in 2022 and 2023.
Next season will also mark the return of guard Ashton Judd to Mizzou Arena. Judd transferred to Texas on April 8 after scoring 1,010 points in three seasons with the Tigers. Guard Saniah will also make her return to Kentucky, where she spent three years before transferring to Mizzou on April 9.
The Tigers have missed the NCAA Tournament six consecutive years and have gone 28-66 in SEC play during that stretch, including a 5-27 mark in the last two seasons.
