Why the Border War matters as KU visits Missouri in renewal of fierce rivalry: podcast
One of college basketball’s top rivalries — Kansas vs. Missouri — resumes Saturday in Columbia and we’re here to break it down. The current state of the programs, the history, Norm Stewart ... we talk about it all on today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast.
Star sports columnist Vahe Gregorian joins beat writers Gary Bedore and Shreyas Laddha to preview the game that begins at 4:15 p.m. Saturday and will be televised by ESPN.
Mizzou is 9-0 under new coach Dennis Gates and roster full of transfers. Kansas, the defending NCAA champion, is ranked sixth in the country at 8-1. The Jayhawks overwhelmed Missouri in last year’s first meeting in a decade; it was an incredible atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse, and Mizzou Arena should be just as frenzied Saturday.
