Same here. I loved Mizzou basketball growing up. Went to most every game when I was a student there. But I lost interest over the years with Haith and Anderson.

It's nice to finally have something to get excited about again when it comes to Mizzou basketball.

Mizzou BB has been an occasional enjoyment....there have been years they were fun to watch just for the style of play. To me one of the best more recent season (before this one) was 2008-2009, when they reached the Elite Eight and lost to UConn. That team had some good players.....Demarre Carroll, Leo Lyons, Marcus Denmon, J T Tiller, Laurence Bowers, Zaire Taylor, Kim English.
Mizzou was the basic underdog to Memphis, with everyone pretty much already penciling a Memphis-UConn matchup to go to the Final Four. Mizzou pretty much boatraced Memphis into submission and the game was never really close. That 3/4 court shot at the end of the 1st Half by Denmon pretty much demoralized Memphis and their hopes. (I remember they took away a 3 point make on Denmon a minute before calling it a 2 pointer...)
