Favorite moment from the 2013-14 season

[94Warrior]

There were a number of highs and lows from this past season.  Amazingly enough, many of us still thought MU could go dancing as late as March 4th, had they been able to beat Providence and St. John's to end the regular season.

Honorable mention moments from the off-season:
Coach Wojo is hired.
Shaka Smart is a 'done deal'
All the current players, Cohen & Noskowiak re-up.

I had to vote for Kentucky crushing the Badgers' hopes and dreams.  That was a good night!

I'll be here as long as they'll have me and not messin' with happy goes to VAG Tech.

[Boozemon Barro]

It was this.

Burton's dunk as shown.  No question.

When this God awful season came to an end so we could stop the perpetual disappointment that was each game.

Third.

[NotBuzzWilliams]

You can tell this season was depressing when we lost in 3 of the choices and weren't even involved in the game in another choice...

I'll vote Deonte's dunk but I also liked the Xavier game at home because Jake and Derrick played well, much to the chagrin of some of the people sitting around me.

The only W listed: GT losing.

Third.

Hadn't seen that view of the dunk before.   From other views, it seems like Burton slams the defender out of the way, but it's apparent that the defender turned and gave way after being grazed. 

And to think, had the defender not been there at all, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

[NotAnAlum]

The Xavier game at home was the only really good game in my opinion.  The comebacks to force OT were more like brief thrills amidst a sea of frustration.

Buzzo getting his phony downhome lonesome cowboy ass out of town.

Even though we lost the trip to Vegas for the New Mexico game was a blast. There were a ton of MU fans there and I finally learned how to play craps which allowed me to walk away from the blackjack table where I tend to lose too much.

Fixed.  If only that was true all season...it wouldn't have been a depressing season.

It's almost like you're hinting at something.  You wouldn't care to elaborate, would you?

You sure you aren't Buzz Williams...because let's face it...his favorite game of the season probably was Xavier at home for the very reasons you mention - Derrick and Jake played well perhaps for the ONLY time all season in the same game - and for just one game...it made Buzz actually look like he'd been right about sticking with them all season.   Unfortunately, that game also was pretty much the last game we got any kind of decent contribution from Derrick.  His last 5 of the season were total clunkers..and to think we went to OT in 2 of those games...if only he could have contributed just 5 points a game in those last 5..instead of 2.0ppg...heck we might have made the NIT.

We're never going back.  The past is in the past.

I guess this kind of sums up what kind of basketball season it was. Looking back the best moment for me was watching the Cal State Fullerton dance squad. I said to my wife that they were really good. She made some kind of comment that I was just like looking at young women. The next time out the announcer said here is our division one champion dance team, which led me to saying "see I told you they were good." They also were very good looking.

You can't tell this story without providing photographic evidence.

Needs to be posted at least once:

Finding out Derrick will no longer be the starting pg.

How is that necessary?

Also, even though I agree that Derrick will probably not start next season, you have no idea what Wojo's rotations will be. I don't even think Wojo knows.

No starting pg would leave a team to play a backup role on another. Derrick will be used in a situation defensive role only.

Burton dunk by a very wide margin.
