Missouri and Head Men's Basketball Coach Mike Anderson have agreed in principle to a new seven-year contract, which will keep the Tiger sideline boss in Columbia through the 2015-16 season.

'We are excited Coach Anderson is going to be at the University of Missouri for a long time,' Missouri's Director of Athletics Mike Alden said. 'He's done a tremendous job rebuilding our basketball tradition and is poised to lead our program to new heights in the coming years.'

'We have always appreciated the commitment Mike Alden and his staff have had towards Missouri Basketball and I am excited to remain here at Missouri,' Head Coach Mike Anderson said. 'We are looking forward to the future of this program and can't wait to continue building on the success of this past season.'

Financial details of Anderson's seven-year deal will be released at a later date upon complete execution of the contract.
