The baggage Mizzou now drags into every tournament appearance is astounding. Every bad half, every errant pass, every seeming no-show or defeat at the hands of a physically smaller team, it all evokes so many previous tourney disasters it’s hard to open your heart to it anymore.

I needed a couple hours to process what I watched on Thurday night and I'm still not sure I got all the way there. My column on a #Mizzou season that once held so much promise ending with so many questions. https://t.co/wvr1IIJTCp

Decently awful 13 years since Norfolk State for the Mizzou men.

This would be so much better on the #STLCards jersey than STIFEL.

After bingeing 11 seasons of Vanderpump Rules the past couple months and learning it’s all over, apparently—there was no real ending!—what does one DO now? Slither back under a rock where there’s no Tom Schwartz?

I really wish Mizzou would put money into women’s basketball. The administration feels archaic, and far behind the times, in that it hasn’t. I covered the team while I was a student at the paper and I love the sport, which seems as good, overall, as it’s ever been. And growing.
