Missouri Southern State University and the University of Missouri, in conjunction with the Joplin tornado relief campaign, will participate in the One State, One Spirit Classic Presented by Leggett & Platt.

The basketball exhibition game received NCAA approval and will be played on Sunday Oct. 30 at Missouri Southern' s Leggett & Platt Athletic Center in Joplin, Mo.

Tickets, pricing information and a finalized start time will be available later this summer, but this historic event will center around a 5:41 p.m. moment of silence, which was the exact time the tornado stuck Joplin.

Proceeds from this exhibition game will be donated by Missouri Southern to support the rebuilding efforts in Joplin in the wake of the devastating May 22 tornado.
