Along with requesting autographs and selfies, hundreds of women asked another favor of KU basketball players at Wednesday’s Ladies Night Out cancer benefit at Allen Fieldhouse.
The attendees called for a victory over Missouri in Sunday’s hurricane-relief exhibition game at the Sprint Center.
“The ladies were expressing how much they want us to win,” KU sophomore forward Mitch Lightfoot said with a smile, referring to a 3 p.m., KU-Mizzou battle that will count for bragging rights, but not in any official college basketball standings.
“They were telling us their memories from the Border War. It was really cool to see their passion from it,” Lightfoot added.
