The two programs have played seven times throughout their history, with the most recent game taking place in 2016. The Musketeers captured an 83-82 victory at the Tire Pros Invitational, which marked the third straight victory for them in the overall series.
Xavier has won four straight against Missouri and holds a 5-2 lead in the all-time series between the schools.
Steele will enter his first season with the Musketeers after former coach Chris Mack left for Louisville.
Cuonzo Martin will look to replace several key pieces on the Missouri roster after a successful first season with the program.
The Tigers went 20-13 overall this past season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years.
