KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas and Missouri raised more than $1.75 million for hurricane relief on Sunday with a late-arranged basketball exhibition, a 93-87 victory for the Jayhawks.
The Border War rivals, who had not played since Missouri left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference in 2012, announced this event on Oct. 13 to benefit five organizations championed by former U.S. presidents to support victims of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
"To raise money for hurricane relief, I think, is tremendous for everybody involved," first-year Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin said.
