COLUMBIA, Mo.— The Border War is back on. The Missouri and Kansas men’s basketball teams have agreed to revive their series that’s been dormant since Mizzou left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference seven years ago. The longtime rivals announced Monday they'll launch a six-year series next season with games in Kansas City, Columbia, Mo., and Lawrence, Kan.
The first meeting is scheduled for Dec. 12, 2020, at Kansas City’s Sprint Center with KU slated as the home team. The series will alternate between the two college campuses the following seasons with games set for Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence in 2021-22 and 2023-24 and Mizzou Arena in Columbia in 2022-23 and 2024-25.
