On this week’s show, Saturday’s Mizzou-at-KU hoops game takes center stage. The Tigers and Jayhawks resume their Border War series in basketball after a long, long layoff on Saturday at 2 p.m. inside Allen Fieldhouse.

We talk about what that means, as well as the meaning of Sunday’s Chiefs-Raiders, Round II. Find a pair of headphones and let’s go!
