REPORT: Mizzou, Kansas set date for 2024 Border Showdown
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Mizzou Men's Basketball has reportedly set a date with Kansas to renew their storied rivalry in 2024. According to a report from college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, the latest chapter of the Border Showdown is scheduled to be written on Sunday, Dec. 8 at Mizzou Arena.
The upcoming 2024-25 regular season will mark the fourth consecutive year that the two rivals will face each other on the basketball court, following the rivalry's nine-year hiatus that stretched from the 2012-13 season to the 2020-21 campaign.
It will also be the second time that the Border Showdown will be held in Columbia since the rivalry game returned in 2021. MU lost its last home matchup against Kansas 95-67 back in Dec. 2022.
The Tigers will be hunting for their first win over the Jayhawks since Feb. 2012 and aiming to bounce back after a nine-point loss to Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse last season.
