COLUMBIA — Former Missouri basketball forward Laurence Bowers spends nine months of the year playing professionally in Italy, so when he is back in town, he likes to make the most of it.
That's why he's spent the past several months organizing the first annual Carroll & Bowers' Alumni Game. The event will bring together former Missouri sports stars for a night of friendly competition, Bowers said.
"It's all about fun — we’re going to get out there and have a blast," Bowers said. "We hope to have all 15,061 seats filled in Mizzou Arena."
Tickets for the game, which Bowers is hosting on July 22 at Mizzou Arena, along with Toronto Raptors forward DeMarre Carroll, will be on sale for a $5 donation from 10 a.
