The Missouri Tigers are having an exceptional season that's even more impressive if we remember (which we do) the sad 0-18 record the team had in the SEC in regular-season play. Including a loss in the 2024 SEC Tournament, Tigers played 19 games against SEC rivals without having one happy-postgame reason to celebrate.
To say that coach Dennis Gates has done an amazing job of elevating his program after last season's calamity -- well, I don't know if "amazing" captures the magnitude of what we've seen.
In this video I talk about Wednesday's scintillating win over visiting Alabama. I take a look at how this victory showcased everything that Mizzou has done well this season -- including a relentless drive to compete to the max. I update where MU is ranked at KenPom and Bart Torvik. I update why this coaching performance by Gates is entering the one-of-a-kind realm.
And where does this Missouri rank in program history? I have an answer for you. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
