For the KU one-and-done, it was special. A Wichita native, Dick grew up a Kansas fan and had dreamed of playing against Missouri. He relished playing the villain role at Kansas, so it’s no surprise he called it the most fun away game and overall environment — outside of Allen Fieldhouse — in his lone season with the Jayhawks.

No. 1 Kansas suffered its second loss in as many outings this week on Sunday in a 76-67 defeat at the hands of rival Missouri in the Border War series. The Jayhawks scored the first points of the game but promptly surrendered the lead and never led thereafter as Missouri in front of its home crowd raced out to a double-digit lead midway through the first half and staved off a late KU run down the stretch.

Tamar Bates had 29 points and five steals to help Missouri beat Hunter Dickinson and No. 1 Kansas 76-67 on Sunday. Mark Mitchell scored 17 points in Missouri’s first win over Kansas since a 74-71 victory on Feb.
