MANHATTAN — The Casey Alexander era will unofficially tip off at Bramlage Coliseum when Kansas State basketball hosts its first exhibition game of the year.
Kansas State hosts Missouri on Friday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. in the Wildcats' first of two exhibition games ahead of their Nov. 3 season opener against South Dakota State.
The game will mark Alexander's debut as the Wildcats' coach inside their home arena. Alexander was hired away from Belmont this offseason after the school parted ways with Jerome Tang during the 2025-26 season.
Missouri went 20-13 last season and reached the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers have been labeled as an NCAA Tournament team entering 2026-27 under Dennis Gates.
