Kansas and the University of Missouri-Columbia meet up for the first game of a scheduled 6-game series.
Wait... why did we sign a 6-game agreement with a hyphenated school? Ugh. Whatever.
Kansas enters the contest with a ranking of #8 by the AP, while UM-C comes in unranked. KenPom has the Jayhawks at #4 and the Tigers at #139. The preseason conference media poll picked UM-C to finish 10th in the 14-team SEC this year.
Kansas leads the all-time series between the two schools 174-95 (including the 2017 charity exhibition game).
