The Kansas basketball alumni team in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) will play Mizzou’s this afternoon. Find out everything you need to know about the Show Me Squad.

Mass Street, the Kansas Jayhawks alumni team in TBT, had high expectations heading into the bracket. They were ranked the No. 1 seed in the Wichita region, and they were considered one of the favorites to win TBT’s coveted $1 million prize.

They were nearly eliminated in the Round of 64 against We Are D3, a squad that had never won a game in the tournament. Despite slipping past them by a score of 70-67, Mass Street must build on their performance in their debut.

At 3:00 p.m. CT on ESPN+, Kansas basketball fans can watch KU legends such as Thomas Robinson and Keith Langford take on the Show Me Squad in TBT. They are the Missouri Tigers alumni team. It should make for a fiery and intense matchup between graduates of two bitter rival schools.

To get you prepped for today’s contest, we compiled some key things you NEED to know before watching the game. Let’s begin!
