Was looking through some old All Conference teams, its crazy how dominant MU basketball was.
1919-20: MU had 2 First Team All Conference selections and Phil Scott who led the conference in scoring was selected for the Second team. 1 Tiger was selected as 1st Team All American. MU was ranked #2 in the nation in the end of season Premo Power Poll.
1920-21: MU had 3 of the 5 First Team All Conference selections. Also had a 2nd team selection so 4 of its 5 starters made all conference. 2 Tigers were selected as 1st Team All American. George Williams was selected as National Player of the Year. MU was ranked #1 in the nation in the end of season Premo Power poll.
1921-22: MU had 2 First Team and 2 Second team selections. Again 4 of its 5 starters made All Conference. 2 Tigers were selected as 1st Team All American. MU was ranked #1 in the nation in the end of season Premo Power poll.
1922-23: MU had 2 First Team and 3 Second team selections. So all 5 Tiger starters made All Conference. 2 Tigers were selected as 1st Team All American. MU was ranked #3 in that nation in the end of the season Premo Power poll.
