COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri men’s basketball team earned the right to brag Thursday night — with a successful coin flip.
The Tigers won the online coin flip to bring this year’s unique Braggin’ Rights Game to Columbia. Cuonzo Martin’s team will play host to Illinois on Dec. 12 at Mizzou Arena, the first time the rivalry game will be in Columbia since 1978.
Hosted by Andy Katz, who served as the honorary coin-flipper, Thursday’s online broadcast featured appearances by Martin and Illinois coach Brad Underwood, Illini guard Ayo Dosunmu and Mizzou center Jeremiah Tilmon, both team’s athletics directors and chancellors.
