While losing Fletcher to UK is disheartening - Ace AU - 8/5 08:11:40

That was a 1 year blip - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/5 10:17:28

RE: That was a 1 year blip - Ace AU - 8/5 10:28:53

Was Mizzou good the year before and the year after? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/5 10:32:54

If you go back that year you mentioned was the outlier - longtimereader MU - 8/5 13:21:38

From 1985-86 to 1994-95 MU earned an NCAA tourney - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 13:26:49

You're correct in part of how you chose your language - longtimereader MU - 8/5 13:47:57

MU was a top 20 team most of 1994-95 (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 10:36:09

We were a top 25 team basically every week during that era - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 09:59:08

RE: That would make recruiting a lot easier - Ace AU - 8/5 09:42:44

The program began to fall apart in 1995. - alwaysright MU - 8/5 23:19:19

Technically we were a 9 seed that lost in the 1st round his - FIJItiger MU

RE: Technically we were a 9 seed that lost in the 1st round his - Ace AU - 8/5 10:03:29

He was consistently good from 1970 - 1995 - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 10:33:38

This will be unpopular but that when he should have retired - longtimereader MU - 8/5 13:53:43

Yes, but look at the next season - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 14:45:21

RE: He was consistently good from 1970 - 1995 - Ace AU - 8/5 10:45:01

Mike Anderson was consistently good in my opinion - FIJItiger MU

before Norm retired - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/5 09:45:33

Again not technically true - longtimereader MU - 8/5 14:07:59

Again not technically true - longtimereader MU - 8/5 13:59:37

RE: before Norm retired - Ace AU - 8/5 10:03:58

Not disheartening to me at all. The roster now compared - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/5 08:39:40

100% agree(nm) - TigerA MU - 8/5 10:04:51

Let's hope so. Otherwise, Martin seems to be... - Deputy Dawg MU - 8/5 08:15:43

bust? What were the expectations with regard - SuperTone MU

- 8/5 10:11:26

Just curious - have you ever been to Rupp Arena? - El Zorro MU - 8/5 08:55:24

Show that Mizzou can win and he will get some of the top - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/5 08:35:15

3 top 75 players is not good talent - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 09:30:03

The 11-12 team only had one top 75 player - jlbomega MU - 8/5 10:24:55

Agree, but Ratliffe didn't get a rating coming from JUCO(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 10:34:32

Even if you rate him top 75 it's still 2, that said... - jlbomega MU - 8/5 11:52:19

That’s assuming you put 100% faith in the rankings - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/5 09:44:22

I don't, probably less than 40% faith - FIJItiger MU

- 8/5 09:55:04

I would take the current roster over that team - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/5 10:03:04

RE: That’s assuming you put 100% faith in the rankings - MUKdC MU - 8/5 09:52:04

I think our team will be solid this year - kcmizzou99 MU - 8/5 08:26:24
