A school's achievements before they were even born but I doubt it. Between 2000-2014, which encompasses the lives of most kids today, Mizzou was a better basketball program than Arkansas. Better winning percentage, more NCAA appearances, two Elite 8 appearances versus none, more weeks in the top 25 by a wide margin. There is zero reason we should have lower expectations than Arkansas in basketball anymore. The last two years of abject failure here' have changed that perception, to be sure, but as recently as 24 months ago, Mizzou had the superior program by a fairly wide margin (although not historically). I appreciate your call for patience but it smacks of false altruism. If your team had won 19 games the last two years and we had come in and beat you by 34 at Bud Walton Arena, you would have zero patience I guarantee.
