One of the most historic rivalries in college sports will return after a five-year hiatus.
Well, sort of.
Kansas coach Bill Self said Friday that KU will play Missouri in an exhibition men’s basketball game on Sunday, Oct. 22 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. Proceeds from the game will go to hurricane relief efforts. Self said the hope is to raise more than $1 million.
The game, billed as “Showdown for Relief,” will tip off at 3 p.m.
According to releases from both schools, KU and MU will split the seats in the Sprint Center, about 18,000, and each athletic department will sell its allotment.
