Mizzou Is 'In The Process Of Negotiating' With High Profile Opponent For Sprint Center Game

Mizzou doesn't even have a deal in place with a mystery basketball opponent but they're already trying to hype it up.

Team spokesman Dave Reiter tells Mike DeArmond of the Kansas City Star that Mizzou is in the process of negotiating with a high profile opponent for a post-Thanksgiving game at Sprint Center in Kansas City.

Dave Reiter, a spokesman for the MU basketball team, would not name the possible opponent, but acknowledged: “If they can find the right fit, it is something Missouri is very interested in doing. We’re looking for a premium game in Kansas City."

I hope it's a high-profile opponent. Nothing more than the team hyping something like this up only for it to be a disappointment.

Also coming the week after Thanksgiving: KU and MU at Arrowhead. Good be a good week for college sports.
