Kansas Jayhawks vs. Missouri Tigers at T-Mobile Center

Kansas or Missouri. Pick your colors. The Border Showdown comes to T-Mobile Center on December 6, putting the Jayhawks and Tigers on a neutral Kansas City court with a win both sets of supporters want badly. This is the opponent you enjoy beating.

The Border Showdown belongs to both loyalties. For someone who has followed the Jayhawks or Tigers for years, the other name on the bill needs little introduction. You want your team to win this one. Making a plan around that feeling is part of the pleasure, from revisiting old conversations to anticipating a new result.

The rivalry resumed as a nonconference matchup in 2021 after an extended hiatus. Its return gives longtime followers continuity and newer supporters a way into a college basketball pairing with history behind it. That history supports the interest; the game on December 6 is the reason to be there.

Kansas City is the meeting point, and your allegiance travels with you. Bring the school colors you still reach for, the friend who backs the other side or the simple satisfaction of wanting this win. A neutral court gives the rivalry a shared destination without asking anyone to be neutral about the result.
