LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — One of the most heated rivalries in college basketball will be renewed on Saturday when Missouri visits No. 8 Kansas in a matchup of old Big Eight foes. Jayhawks coach Bill Self vowed never to play the Tigers again when the school bolted for the SEC. Now Kansas can make them pay on the hardwood for putting the Big 12 on the ropes a decade ago. It's a series that trace its roots to the days before the Civil War, when armed conflict took place over the issue of slavery. The simmering hatred between fanbases has persisted all these years.
