Although they haven’t crossed paths since 2011, the Tigers and Huskers are familiar with the building in KC. Mizzou met Kansas inside T-Mobile Center last season and next season will play the Jayhawks six days earlier there, on Dec. 6.
Last season, Nebraska played Kansas State in Kansas City. The Cornhuskers went on to reach the NCAA Tournament — and win their first NCAA game — reaching the Sweet 16.
