More than 1,800 tickets have been sold for the Kansas-Missouri alumni basketball game, set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena in Independence, one of the game’s organizers reported Tuesday.
“It is going nicely. Ticket sales are great. We are definitely excited about it,” said Steve Gardner, co-founder of the game, titled “Rivalry Renewed.”
“When I run into people and talk to people throughout the day, everyone I talk to is aware of it and certainly excited about it,” added Gardner, a 1991 KU graduate who has partnered with former Missouri standout Kareem Rush to set up the game in the 5,800-seat building.
