The Arizona men’s basketball team will play Missouri in the 2014 EA Sports Maui Invitational Nov. 24.
UA’s next game is the following day against either Kansas State or Purdue. Kansas State is the only of the three possible foes to make the NCAA tournament last season.
Arizona’s 2014 appearance marks its sixth in the invitational, tied for most all-time.
In its history, UA is 1-1 against Missouri, 5-8 versus Kansas State and 5-6 when opposing Purdue.
If the Wildcats win their first two games, they will face either BYU, Pittsburgh, San Diego State or host Chaminade in the championship game.
UA opens their season against Mount St. Mary’s on Nov. 14 and its non-conference schedule also includes games against Michigan, Gonzaga and UNLV.
