A few weeks after the Missouri men�s basketball team released its full state of games, the women�s basketball team did the same.

On Tuesday, the Tigers � who are fresh off a 22-10 campaign and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament � unveiled their 2016-17 schedule, which includes 16 regular-season games at Mizzou Arena.

After a pair of exhibition games during the first week of November, MU has its season opener against Abilene Christian on Nov. 11 in the Women�s Preseason National Invitation Tournament. It�s the first time that Missouri will compete in the 16-team tournament, in which Robin Pingeton�s team is guaranteed three games and could face the likes of Nebraska, Washington or Notre Dame.

After the preseason NIT, the Tigers host Indiana State on Nov. 22 before spending the Thanksgiving holiday in the Bahamas for the Junkanoo Jam Tournament, where they�ll meet Creighton on Nov. 25 and either Dayton or Georgia Tech on Nov. 26.

Once it�s back stateside, MU has eight more nonconference games, six of which are at home. Missouri hosts Western Illinois and Missouri State on Nov. 29 and Dec. 2, respectively, before a road date with IUPUI on Dec. 4 in Indianapolis. From there, the Tigers have four consecutive home games � vs. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville (Dec. 7), Wichita State (Dec. 9), UT Martin (Dec. 17) and UC Riverside (Dec. 19) � then wrap up nonconference play on Dec. 21 at Saint Louis.

MU tips off Southeastern Conference action against Georgia on New Year�s Day at Mizzou Arena.

In the 16-game SEC schedule, Missouri has home-and-home games against Alabama (Jan. 8 at Mizzou Arena, Feb. 26), Kentucky (Jan. 5, Jan. 30 in Columbia) and Arkansas (Jan. 23, Feb. 12 in Columbia). Of the remaining 10 conference games, they are evenly split home and away. In addition to Georgia, the Tigers host Texas A&M (Jan. 19), Auburn (Jan. 26), South Carolina (Feb. 19) and Mississippi (Feb. 23).

MU travels to LSU (Jan. 12), Vanderbilt (Jan. 15), Mississippi State (Feb. 5), Tennessee (Feb. 9) and Florida (Feb. 16).

Nine of Missouri�s games will be shown on the SEC Network, ESPNU or ESPN2 this season. All four of the games against Kentucky and Arkansas are booked for the SEC Network. When MU visits Starkville, Miss., to play the Bulldogs, it will be featured on ESPNU. Missouri�s home game against perennial power South Carolina is slated for ESPN2.
