Also, even at its WORST (with Mizzou being horrible and their bowl game being during this game), this rivalry event is so fun. Finally attended this year, and what a fun/festive atmosphere. Can’t even imagine what it was like in years past when both teams were ranked and/or Mizzou filled up their half.
It’s a shame this is really the only neutral site rivalry of this type left in college hoops (i.e., like OU/Texas or Florida/UGA in football) with a 50/50 crowd split at mid court.
