This is big. The two teams haven't played since Mizzou left for the SEC after the 2011-2012 season. I expect this to be sold out and absolutely raucous. Rivalry aside, KU will be good as usual and Mizzou has high hopes with Michael Porter Jr. I'm hoping to make it. We will see how many tickets are available after the season ticket holders get their hands on them. It'll end up being close to $100 for 2 uppers after fees, but it'll be worth it.
"Kansas and Missouri announced Friday that the Tigers and Jayhawks will play an exhibition men’s basketball game on Sunday, Oct. 22 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. Proceeds from the game will go to hurricane relief efforts. KU coach Bill Self, speaking at his basketball team’s media day Friday in Lawrence, said the hope is to raise more than $1 million."
"According to releases from both schools, KU and MU will split the roughly 18,000 seats in the Sprint Center."
"Ticket prices are: $200 courtside, $120 for lower-level sides, $75 for lower-level ends, $40 for upper level and $20 for students (upper-level seats)."
"Proceeds will be donated to the organizations that the five living former U.S. Presidents have come together to support: the Houston Harvey Relief Fund, the Rebuild Texas Fund, the Florida Disaster Fund, Juntos y Unidos Por Puerto Rico and the Fund for the U.S. Virgin Islands."

Cool idea....but then why not just play a regular season game against each other?

I thought games like this in exhibition were only the sort where fans couldn't watch?

"If our season was based on A-10 awards, there’d be a lot of empty space up in the rafters of the Cintas Center." - Chris Mack

Looks like I'm out of luck unless I want to pay a ridiculous price on the secondary market. The game is officially sold out. Tickets never even made it to the general public. Both schools sold their allotments to donors and students.

89-83 KU with 20 seconds to go. Looks like the Jayhawks will pull out a relatively close win.

KU held on for a 93-87 win. Pretty insane numbers for an exhibition game. !8,000+ in the arena...18,000+ PPV streams bought...nearly $2 million raised for charity. Well done all around! And honestly the level of play was better than I expected for mid October.
