SportsBeat KC #317: Mizzou football pauses with a nice memory, and talking KC’s NCAA bids

No game for Missouri this week after the scheduled opponent, Vanderbilt, called in sick with COVID-19. That’s the way it goes in sports these days with the SEC making some of the biggest news. LSU-Florida is also called off, and Alabama Coach Nick Saban has contracted the virus and will not be on the sideline for Saturday’s game against Georgia. On SportsBeat KC, Mizzou beat writer Souichi Terada discusses the path ahead for the Tigers. What becomes of the Vandy game and how the program is using the open week. Also, a look back at the Tigers’ dramatic 45-41 victory over defending national champion LSU is in order. Plus, a early look at basketball with practice starting this week. Also, we’ll hear from Kansas CIty Major Quinton Lucas and Kansas City Sports Commission President Kathy Nelson. They were feeling good on Wednesday when the NCAA announced future championship events for T-Mobile Center, including men’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball.
