More fans will have a chance to see Missouri and Kansas play basketball for the first time since 2012.
The schools originally announced that their Showdown for Relief exhibition men’s basketball game Sunday at the Sprint Center would only be broadcast on the Tigers’ and Jayhawks’ radio affiliates.
But those plans have changed. The two schools announced Friday a livestream video broadcast will be available on a pay-per-view basis for $40 at ShowdownForRelief.com. Money raised through pay-per-view sales will go to hurricane relief charities along with ticket proceeds.
Kansas City broadcaster Leif Lisec will do play-by-play and ESPN broadcasters Holly Rowe and Fran Fraschilla will be the sideline reporter and color commentator for the game, which tips off at 3 p.
