Mizzou Tigers Men's Basketball History

Mizzou played its first season of men’s college basketball back in the 1906-1907 campaign as an independent school. One year later, the school joined the Missouri Valley Conference.

In 1967 Norm Stewart took over the team, which was by then a member of the Big Eight conference, and the program took off. Stewart led the Tigers for 32 years, turning them into a highly competitive program. He was on the bench from 1967 to 1999, during which Mizzou won eight conference titles and made 16 NCAA tournament appearances. The era featured Derrick Chievous, Anthony Peeler and Steve Stipanovich playing for Mizzou en route to having successful NBA careers.

While they were a charter member of the Big 12 Conference upon its inception in 1996, Missouri joined the SEC in 2012. Since joining the SEC, the Tigers have made the NCAA Tournament five times. As of the 2022–23 season, the team is led by head coach Dennis Gates.
