Dennis Gates’ Missouri men’s basketball team will play Big East contender Marquette in the Sunday November 15 Legends Classic at Chicago’s United Center.

The game is presented by Old Trapper and is the first matchup between the two teams in 18 years. There’s lots of excitement in Columbia, with Mizzou welcoming the nation’s seventh-ranked freshman class.
