Bill Self envisions an electric atmosphere inside a sold-out Sprint Center on Sunday. In fact, he foresees unprecendented excitement surrounding a basketball game that won’t count in the standings.

“It’ll probably be the most anticipated exhibition game in the history of exhibition games,” Self, Kansas’ 15th-year coach, said of a 3 p.m., Border War get-together between KU and Missouri, teams that met uninterrupted from 1907 to 2012, discontinuing five years ago when MU left the Big 12 for the SEC.

“It’ll be fun. The biggest thing is to do it for the good cause and hopefully your team can get better and learn some things through it,” Self added.
