Back to EpisodesA measuring stick kind of weekend for Mizzou football, men’s hoops
Description
As of Friday morning, nine college football games, including Michigan at Ohio State, had been canceled, and number of college basketball games postponed or canceled on Saturday was approaching 20. But one college town is stoked for its football and basketball games that day: Columbia, Missouri.
The football Tigers are 5-3 and ranked No. 25 in the College Football Playoff poll. They meet ninth-ranked Georgia at 11 a.m. Mizzou won a coin flip and the right to host the St. Louis-based Braggin Rights game with Illinois. Missouri is undefeated. The Illini, coming off a 15-point victory at Duke, are sixth.
Beat writer Souichi Terada and columnist Vahe Gregorian join SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff to discuss the big day in Mizzou sports. Fingers crossed the games will be played as re-scheduled.
