Mizzou and Marquette Engage in Secret Scrimmage
Mizzou and Marquette participated in a secret scrimmage.
Marquette, MI, November 15, 2026 —
The University of Missouri (Mizzou) men’s basketball program and Marquette University recently participated in a secret scrimmage, a common practice in college basketball that allows teams to compete against an opponent outside of regular season play without public or media observation.
Details regarding the specific date, location, and outcome of the scrimmage were not publicly disclosed. Such events are typically held to provide teams with valuable game-experience and evaluate player performance in a controlled, non-public setting before the official start of the season or in preparation for conference play.
Secret scrimmages are not officially sanctioned games and do not count toward a team’s win-loss record. Their primary purpose is developmental, offering coaches a low-stakes environment to test strategies, identify areas for improvement, and assess the team’s readiness against a different style of play.
The athletic departments of both Mizzou and Marquette have not released any official statements or statistics pertaining to the scrimmage. The contractor or specific individuals involved in organizing or facilitating the event were not identified in the information available.
Both Mizzou and Marquette are recognized NCAA Division I basketball programs. Information about the scrimmage was limited to the confirmation of its occurrence.
