Lovell’s Analysis
You have to give all parties involved a ton of credit for making this happen.
Considering that all proceeds will go to hurricane relief, it made sense to offer a paid online viewing option since a game like this will draw a ton of interest.
Missouri and Kansas haven’t played in basketball since the Tigers joined the SEC all the way back in 2012, so it’s certainly a game that many fans have been waiting to see.
Of course, it’s also a game that will raise an incredible amount of money for all the people impacted by the recent hurricanes.
And while this one goes beyond the game of basketball, it will still be a lot of fun to see how both teams match up against each other.
