KU, Mizzou discussing charity exhibition basketball game at Sprint Center

[chuckd4735]

Big news down here in KC, and really for the Big 12 as well, Id think. Sounds like the game may be as soon as next weekend.

I'm all for it, but the still of Bill Self winking in the linked article is the stuff of nightmares.

They should at least ask us if they can play in our arena before making these plans.

checks out

**** them both. Well, **** Mizzou more.

I'd probably go and bring a Hilton South poster.

I'm all for hurricane support, but what a load of crap if the NCAA allows this game for that reason. Both these schools have no ties to hurricane areas nor any reason to support the effort. This is a publicity grab plain and simple and the charity is being exploited to do so.

If this was the university of Houston, Miami, or even UT i would think differently.

I can't believe the NCAA would go for this. If they get a charity exhibition, then every school should get one.

Nice diversion from the realities swirling about Lawrence.

Anything to draw attention away from the FBI investigation amiright?

BOO!
Nobody, including ISU, should play Mizzou in anything ever again

 

[JRE1975]

Good, a chance for us to scout MU!

 

[abcguyks]

This is also a good opportunity for Mizzou's very young team to get valuable experience prior to playing ISU. Shouldn't be allowed unless we get an extra exhibition game.

 

[NWICY]

Heck if I went, I'd be tired out after that game. Takes a lot of energy to boo both teams.

KU wins 93-87

 

[Cyclonepride]

I guess since it happened, the positive note should be that Missouri played them well, and a win would look better than it otherwise might (and a loss wouldn't look as bad). Still a bunch of crap.

 

[sheepplucker]

I watched, was a pretty competitive game.. I suppose you can't take to much from an exhibition though.

 

[greatshu]

Mizzou got some size but they struggled with speed/shooting of KU's guards. Graham, Vick, and Newman shot really well.

Several others did. nebraska played at Mississippi state today. I doubt they raised 2 million dollars though.

KU wins 93-87

I met a Kansas fan in St Louis last year who told me KU was the reason these teams don't play anymore. Be a fun game to watch.

**** mizzou. Now and forever.
