The team played its home games at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri, and played its first season in the Southeastern Conference after leaving the Big 12 Conference.

Roster Last update: 2012-07-08 Notes: Missouri competed in an exhibition trip to Europe in August.

The NCAA allows teams 10 extra practices before international exhibition tours like these.

With many new players Coach Haith wanted to use the extra playing time and practices to help build team chemistry similar to what Mizzou did in 2008–09 with the Canadian tour.

The eight-team field has been announced as Missouri, Stanford, Memphis, Northern Iowa, Duke, Minnesota, VCU, and Louisville.Source:[5]
