LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – No. 4 Kansas would love nothing more than to beat third-ranked Missouri on Saturday.
It’s the final regular-season matchup between bitter rivals, now that the Tigers are headed off to the SEC next season. It’s also a revenge game after the Jayhawks blew a late lead when the teams met earlier this month in Columbia, Mo.
Oh, there’s also this: Kansas can wrap up a share of another Big 12 title.
The Tigers’ upset loss to Kansas State on Tuesday night, coupled with the Jayhawks’ win Wednesday night at Texas A&M, means Kansas (23-5, 13-2 Big 12) would earn at least a share of an unprecedented eighth consecutive league title with a win.
Missouri (25-3, 12-3) and Kansas have been part of the same league since 1908.
