The University of Missouri’s men’s basketball program is gearing up for what promises to be an electrifying season, unveiling a Border Lockdown Special that rewards its most loyal supporters. Season‑ticket holders and members of the Leadership Circle can purchase discounted tickets for the top 30 games within the state, with savings that climb as high as $150 on lower‑level seats at the Enterprise Center and T‑Mobile Center.

The offer spans the most anticipated rivalry matchups, allowing fans to lock in a $100 ticket for the showdowns against Kansas and Saint Louis, while a $50 package is available for the renewed rivalry with Nebraska. Priority access to the Braggin’ Rights game against Illinois ensures that supporters will be moved to the front of the line for those coveted seats.
Adding to the excitement, ESPN’s preseason Top 25 places the Tigers at No. 21, reflecting the buzz surrounding the team’s recent back‑to‑back NCAA Tournament appearances — the first such achievement since the 2009‑13 stretch. The schedule features high‑profile opponents: No. 3 Illinois, No. 22 Nebraska, No. 23 Kansas and Saint Louis, all of which will test the squad early and often.
Athletic Director Laird Veatch expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming campaign, highlighting the program’s momentum and the opportunity to showcase Mizzou basketball across the state. "We’re thrilled to give our fans a chance to experience these marquee games at a great value," Veatch said, underscoring the department’s commitment to enhancing the fan experience.
Beyond the schedule, the roster will welcome the nation’s eighth‑ranked freshman class and the 14th‑ranked transfer class, bolstering depth and talent. Six returning players from the 2025‑26 campaign will also contribute, having helped the team post at least 20 wins in each of the last two seasons.
For supporters looking to make the most of the Border Lockdown Special, the process is straightforward: eligible fans can purchase discounted tickets through the official Mizzou Athletics ticket portal, securing seats that bring them closer to the action and deeper into the heart of Missouri’s basketball culture.
