COLUMBIA, Mo. (KCTV) - A tip-off time has officially been set for the second edition of the renewed rivalry between Kansas and Missouri’s men’s basketball programs.

The Jayhawks and Tigers will tip-off Saturday, Dec. 10 at 4:15 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

Last season, Bill Self’s Jayhawks defeated Cuonzo Martin and the Tigers, 102-65 in Lawrence. December’s matchup will be the first major conference opponent Missouri takes on with first-year head coach Dennis Gates on the bench.

Harris will be taking on his high school teammate Isiaih Mosley, who transferred from Missouri State to Missouri ahead of this season.
