Used to be called the "Show-Me Classic". This event began in December 1976 in Columbia, Missouri at the Hearnes Center, where Missouri would defeat Illinois by a final score of 76-75. Over the next three years (1977-79) the two teams would reciprocate home courts until the decision to play on a neutral court was developed and sponsored by Anheuser-Busch prior to the 1980-81 season.
