Drinkwitz Criticizes Kansas Over 'Border War' Rhetoric After Missouri Win
Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said he was 'embarrassed' for Kansas after the Jayhawks leaned into the historic Border War rivalry ahead of Friday night's game.
Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz had strong words for Kansas following his team's win in Friday night's matchup, according to ESPN.
Drinkwitz said he was "embarrassed" for Kansas over what he described as the Jayhawks' attempt to lean into the historic nature of the Border War rivalry between the two programs, calling it "crap," per ESPN's report.
The comments came after Missouri defeated Kansas in the game, though specific details of the final score and in-game developments were not included in the available report.
The Border War is a long-standing rivalry between Missouri and Kansas that predates both schools' current conference alignments. The rivalry has at times been dormant due to conference realignment before being renewed in recent years.
ESPN did not provide additional context from Kansas coaches or players in response to Drinkwitz's remarks in the excerpt reviewed.
