Kansas basketball will play an exhibition game against Missouri on Sunday at 3:30 ET to raise money for hurricane relief. The game won’t be nationally televised; instead it will be broadcast online at ShowdownForRelief.com for $40. That money will be donated to the Houston Harvey Relief Fund, the Rebuild Texas Fund, the Florida Disaster Fund, Juntos y Unidos Por Puerto Rico and the Fund for the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to the Kansas City Star.

The game will feature a possible 2018 No. 1 overall NBA draft pick in Missouri forward Michael Porter Jr., and another of the top-20 recruits in the country in five-star Kansas forward Billy Preston. In a fun twist to keep the stars on the court, the teams will allow seven fouls per player, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Sprint Center is sold out for the game, as it has been since minutes after tickets were released.
ESPN broadcasters Holly Rowe and Fran Fraschilla, and Kansas City broadcaster Leif Lisec, will donate their time for play-by-play and sideline reporter coverage. This game will have all the feels of a real game, and for a great cause!
