Braggin' Rights basketball game between Illinois, Mizzou set for December 22

The Braggin' Rights college basketball rivalry game between Missouri and Illinois will take place on Sunday, December 22 this year at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.

The Post-Dispatch confirmed the scheduling of the annual neutral-site nonconference game, which was first reported by CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.

St. Louis has hosted a game between the Tigers and Illini nearly every year since 1980. Illinois has a 34-20 series advantage over Mizzou, but MU has won four of the last six meetings.

Last year, the Illini thumped Missouri in a 97-73 rout that Illinois players felt was funtionally secure by halftime.
