For the second straight season, Mizzou men\u2019s basketball takes the court against Kansas on a Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Jayhawks unveiled their nonconference schedule Wednesday, featuring the 273rd meeting of the Border War against the Tigers on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Kansas City. The tipoff time will be determined at a later date.<\/p>\n
The fifth consecutive meeting between the two foes will be their penultimate matchup for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
After the rivalry was paused for nine years because of Missouri\u2019s move from the Big 12 Conference to the Southeastern Conference on July 1, 2012, the two teams created a scheduling agreement to renew the feud in 2019.<\/p>\n
The current contract has the 2025-26 and 2026-27 season matchups at the neutral site remaining.<\/p>\n
Mizzou stunned the Jayhawks in last season\u2019s meeting, downing then-No. 1 Kansas 76-67 on Dec. 8, 2024, at Mizzou Arena for the Columbia squad\u2019s first Border War and top-ranked win since 2012 and 1997, respectively.<\/p>\n
Former Tigers guard Tamar Bates led the team to the historic triumph with a game-high and season-high 29 points to go with one rebound, an assist and five steals on 9-for-15 shooting from the field.<\/p>\n
MU returners Mark Mitchell and Anthony Robinson II rounded out the team\u2019s double-digit point scorers with 17 and 11, respectively. The former added four rebounds, one assist, a steal and three blocks, while the latter posted four rebounds, three assists and five steals.<\/p>\n
Despite MU securing the victory, Kansas still holds bragging rights over Mizzou all-time. The Jayhawks boast a 175-96 series record over the Tigers and are 8-2 in the teams\u2019 last 10 matchups.<\/p>\n
Missouri\u2019s only other officially announced game for the 2025-26 campaign is its season opener against Howard on Nov. 3 in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the second straight season, Mizzou men\u2019s basketball takes the court against Kansas on a Sunday.
