Basketball Set for Matchup At Kansas Dec. 11

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The highly anticipated renewal of the Mizzou-Kansas matchup will officially begin this season, as the Tigers travel to face Kansas on Dec. 11 in Allen Fieldhouse. Game time and television designations will be announced at a later date. 

The six year renewal was set to begin last season, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Mizzou has faced Kansas 267 times, the most meetings against any opponent in program history. Kansas leads the all-time series 172-95. The rivalry, which tipped off on March 11, 1907 with a 34-31 Mizzou win in Columbia, returns for the first time in an official capacity since Feb. 25, 2012. The two programs raised more than $2M for hurricane relief with a preseason exhibition prior to the 2017-18 campaign at the Sprint Center. This season will mark head coach Cuonzo martin’s first official matchup with Kansas in his coaching career.
