McNeal, Matthews and James were juniors. Think about that for a minute.
Good work by Buzz.
We were a 6 seed last year and beat Utah St, only to lose to #3 Mizzou.
The overall point here being: If you would have told any MU fan that we would get the same (6-seed) in the NCAA tournament this year, as we did last year - not one of us would have believed that. I'm an optimist and hoped for the best with the JUCO talent and recruiting class - but after the injury to Otule and Junior, transfer of Maymon, to think this team matched the Big 3 their senior season is amazing.
Hats off to the players, assistant coaches, and Buzz - thanks for a great year!
