Fans waiting to see Missouri State basketball might not have to wait much longer.

ESPN basketball insider Jeff Goodman reported Friday night that MSU will visit Kansas State in a charity exhibition men's basketball game on Saturday, Oct. 21 in Manhattan, Kansas.

Wichita Eagle Kansas State beat writer Kellis Robinett backed up the report Friday night saying the NCAA approved the waiver for the game to be played.

Robinett reported admission the game would be free of charge, although donations are encouraged. Proceeds will go to Red Cross hurricane relief.

The news comes hours after Kansas and Missouri announced they would renew their rivalry for an exhibition charity game on Oct. 22.

The News-Leader reached out to Missouri State athletic communications and was told an official announcement would be made Sunday.
