# 90 - Bud Heineman

Letterman – 1949, 1950, 1951

A 5'10 lefty guard from Versailles, August ‘Bud’ Heineman came to MU as the state high school scoring record holder. His scoring played a key role in one of the program's first great wins. Traveling to Madison Square Garden to face the defending NCAA and NIT champion City College of New York (the first and only team to win both tournaments in the same season)in the season’s second game, MU took a 31-14 halftime lead on the strength of 15 first half points by Heineman. He would finish with 19 on the game and MU won 54-37 to shock the nation. The AP vaulted MU to #8 and they even earned two first place votes. He would score a career high of 26 against Iowa. For the season Heineman would use his jump shooting to break a 30 year old scoring record with 283 points on the season and lead MU to its best record since 1939. He would lead the Tigers in scoring both his junior and senior seasons.



# 88 - Greg Flaker

Letterman – 1971, 1972
A 6'3 guard from Cape Girardeau who still made use of the two handed set shot, Flaker played a supporting role on Stewart's first great Tiger teams. MU would finish his first season at 17-9 overall and in a tie for second place in conference, considerably better than they had done in more than a decade. But in an era when winning your conference was the only way to gain entry to the NCAA tournament, and when the NIT invited OU instead of MU the Tigers were left with no postseason to show for it. Bolstered by Flaker's outside shooting in his senior season MU would climb to as high as #14 in the polls, marking the first time they had been ranked in 17 years. The Tigers contended for the conference title all season long, but ended up falling just short and securing a second place finish. In his final home game Flaker scored 19 as MU defeated OU and received an NIT bid, the program's first ever. Against hometown St. John's at Madison Square Garden in the opening round, Flaker would score a game high 27. But MU would lose in overtime 82-81 to conclude the year at 21-6 for the best Tiger season since 1930.


# 85 - Sonny Siebert

Letterman – 1956, 1957

A 6'3 guard from St. Louis, Siebert joined the Tigers and was asked to replace the graduated Norm Stewart. He would score 22 in his first game, a win over S. Dakota, and another 19 in a win over USC. After starting 5-2 the Tigers would fade down the stretch but Siebert would finish second on the team with a 13.4 ppg average. The next season started much the same as the last, with Siebert scoring 27 in a huge win over Indiana and also scored 23 in a win over Princeton. But again when conference play started the Tigers struggled. The lone bright spot was a 74-53 upset over #20 OU when Siebert scored a career high 31 points. MU tied for last in conference, but Seibert was named All Conference and led the Tigers with 16.7 ppg. Poised as MU best returning player in the inaugural Big 8 season, Seibert instead elected to skip his senior season and sign a professional baseball contract with the Cleveland Indians. The $40,000 offer was more than head coach Stalcup was making and so the coach advised him to not pass up the opportunity. Unfortunately it also sunk MU, who became the first team to ever finish 8th in the Big 8 as a result. He was drafted in the NBA by the St. Louis Hawks. Siebert went on to pitch in the majors from 1964-75, and is the last American League pitcher to hit two home runs in the same game.

# 84 - Bob Price

Letterman – 1963, 1964

A 6'2 guard from Granite City, Illinois Price came to MU the same season that Bob Vanetta took over as head coach. In his first season, Price would finish second on the team in scoring at 13.2 ppg and earn Honorable Mention All Conference recognition. The next year he would have a career high 32 point game against Iowa State. He would lead MU in scoring as well as finish second in conference with a 19.6 ppg avg. He would also earn First Team All Conference honors on the year. After his playing days, he was an assistant coach for the basketball program from 1967-69.


# 82 - Mike Jeffries

Letterman – 1971, 1972, 1973

A powerful 6’3 swingman from Alton Illinois, Jeffries was originally a quarterback on MU's football team as a freshman before being persuaded to build a career on the hardwood. MU would finish his first season at 17-9 overall and in a tie for second place in conference, considerably better than they had done in more than a decade. But in an era when winning your conference was the only way to gain entry to the NCAA tournament, and when the NIT invited OU instead of MU the Tigers were left with no postseason to show for it. His junior season was the last in Brewer Field House, and MU fielded possibly its best team the building had seen. He would combine with star John Brown to score 46 in an MU 74-73 win over Arkansas early in the season, and came within one controversial charging call of upending Kentucky on the road in what ultimately was an 83-79 loss. MU would advance to the conference tournament finals for the first time in 17 seasons and with the help of Jeffries 11 points and 10 boards would defeat KSU to claim the championship. MU would finish in second place again, this time with a 21-6 overall record and the program's first NIT appearance and a final ranking of #18. Jeffries would have 9 assists as MU lost in Madison Square Garden to St. John’s 82-81. To follow up possibly the best season the program had seen in 40 years, in Jeffries senior season MU did better. They would start the season at #12 and in a new arena, as work on the Hearnes Center was finally complete. The Tigers would start 8-0 and move to #7 in the nation before entering conference holiday tournament play. Against OU in the second round, Jeffries had the game of his career in scoring 28 points to lead MU to a 69-68 win and the title game. There the Tigers defeated #16 KSU to claim the title and move to #5 in the polls, their highest ranking ever, and a 12-0 record. MU would finish 21-5, again claim second place in conference, and again secure a spot in the NIT where they lost to UMass 78-71. Jeffries was drafted by the KC Kings in the 1973 draft with the 110th overall pick.

# 81 - Mark Atkins

Letterman – 1993, 1994

Atkins was a 6'5 JUCO shooting guard from Kankakee Community College that choose MU over Alabama, Arkansas, DePaul, Nebraska and Virginia that never met a shot he didn't like. Atkins was known for his slow, flat feet and his unwavering desire to take shots. He basically was Clarence Gilbert while Gilbert was still in middle school. His first year with the Tigers only one other player shot more than 27 three point attempts, Atkins shot 212. But he converted at nearly 40% and was 3rd on the team in scoring at 12.2 ppg. His highpoint was a 34 point performance against UNLV and on the year he made the 6th most 3 pointers in MU history. He was again the designated 3 point bomber his senior season, but it was a more key role on a team that went undefeated in conference and is MU's only #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Atkins dropped 30 points in a victory against ku, and he memorably made two 3’s in the final minute against Illinois to force overtime in what became the seasons’ pivotal game. He twice attempted 16 three pointers in a game (Gilbert and Gardner are the only Tigers to ever attempt that many in a game). Atkins trailed only Melvin Booker in 3 pointers made for MU at the conclusion of his career despite only playing two years at MU. Atkins would go on to a professional career in various minor leagues in America as well as multiple teams in Taiwan and is now a high school basketball coach.


# 79 - Greg Church

Letterman – 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989

The Hammer was the ultimate role player in his days with the Tigers, setting picks, crashing boards, swinging the ball, and playing lock down post defense. Coming from Palmyra where he avged 23.4 ppg and 11.9 rebounds as a senior and was named to the Street and Smith All American teams as both a junior and senior, Church’s four seasons resulted in four straight trips to the NCAA tournament for MU after a two year absence. He led the team as a junior in FG% with the seventh most accurate season in MU history at 63.4%. Church was even more efficient as a senior, turning in the third highest FG% for a season ever at MU 65.3%. He was even better in conference play that year, going a remarkable 62 for 83 in Big 8 play for an all time MU record of 74.7% shooting. Down the stretch of his final season after Norm Stewart was forced to leave the team due to cancer, Church helped MU to a 97-84 victory over #1 OU that was the program's first ever win over a #1 team. The next game was the best of his career, and on the strength 83% shooting he scored 31 points against KSU. On senior day in his last game at Hearns, Church would score MU's final 13 points in a 66-65 MU win over CU that clinched second place in conference. The Tigers would win 29 games total with Church as the team captain, a program record that would stand until 2009.

# 78 - Lamont Frazier

Letterman - 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994

The original Junk Yard Dog, viewing his career on paper Frazier looks to be a run of the mill player. After leading Charleston to a perfect 33-0 record and a 3A title in high school he tallied a total of only 667 points in 4 years as a Tiger. However, the 6'4” swingman from Charleston, Mo. (who was a relative of former Tiger great Ricky Frazier), made a career out of setting bone-jarring picks and playing a fiercely physical style of defense. By doing the dirty work, he opened up space for stars like Anthony Peeler and Melvin Booker to shine. But when called upon Frazier could score too, as demonstrated during Missouri's magical 1993-94 season in which it was Frazier that served as team captain. His 20-point effort (including a three-pointer at the end of regulation) in the Tigers' epic three-overtime triumph against Illinois, helped set the stage for the best regular season run in Mizzou's modern history. His impact and leadership on the undefeated season can not be understated and MU went on to earn the program’s only #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Frazier earned honorable mention all-Big Eight honors that season and also was named to the Big Eight All-Defensive Team. Following his basketball career at Missouri, he played football for the Tigers in 1995 and was a second-team all-Big Eight selection at tight end before moving into a career as a high school and college assistant basketball coach.

# 77 - Prince Bridges

Letterman – 1982, 1983, 1984

A high school center at only 6’1 due to his jumping ability that saw him named Oklahoma Player of the Year, Bridges spent his first college season leading Tyler JUCO to a 31-4 record. Prince transferred to MU as a sophomore and in his first season helped the Tigers to a 27-4 record, conference championship, and #1 national ranking while leading the team in assists and recorded 15 points and 5 assists in the NCAA tourney win over Marquette. A tremendously athletic point guard, Prince relived Sundvold of his primary ball handling duties and allowed him to focus on shooting as well as electrifying the Tiger crowds with his dunking ability and alley oops. As a junior, he would actually led MU in FG shooting at 60% from his point guard spot and help lead them back to a second conference title as well. He would famously block 7’3 Ralph Sampson’s shot in a nationally televised matchup with Virginia but had to suffer through the season on a broken foot acquired in pickup games at Brewer. He would captain the Tigers as a senior, but the club would stumble to a 16-14 record unable to replace the departed talent of the prior year. Prince finished his career at the University of Missouri as the No.3 all-time assist leader despite playing just 3 years, and accumulated an MU record of 69-26. He was drafted by the Pistons with the 103rd overall pick and also participated in the Continental Basketball Association

# 76 - Matt Lawrence

Letterman - 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009

A lightly recruited 6'7 shooting guard from St. Louis, Matt came to MU because it was his lifelong dream during a season that MU was barred from leaving campus to recruit. After a non-descript freshman season he exploded onto the scene under first year coach Mike Anderson in his first game under the new coach…hitting 7 three pointers. He was named to the Big 12 All improved team that season, one that saw him become the only Tiger to start every game and finish second on the team in scoring and second in conference in 3 point %. As a junior he set the all time MU mark for free throw accuracy at 91.3% while again starting every game. But his legacy would be defined through his senior campaign. Despite coming off the bench for part of the season, he finished 3rd in scoring and again lead the team in 3 point %. But is was his improved defense, rebounding, assist to turnover ratio, and leadership that helped spur the Tigers to the most wins in program history at 31 and earned Matt the Big 12’s Sixth Man of the Year award. All told he finished with > 1,000 points in his Tiger career and is 3rd all time at MU in 3 pointers made as well as making 2 Academic All Conference teams.


# 74 - Scott Sims

Letterman - 1975, 1976, 1977

A 6'1 point guard from Kirksville, MO that also won Big 8 tennis titles at MU, Sims was a coach's son who played a reserve role his first two years as a Tiger on some of our most successful teams to date. As a junior he was the backup to Willie Smith in a season that saw MU win its first conference championship in over 30 years, advance to the elite eight, and win 26 games (which at the time was the most in program history). His senior year saw him move into a starting role and burst onto the scene...winning the MVP of the Sun Bowl Preseason tournament and scoring a career high 30 against Colorado that year. He ended up avging 15.9 ppg and 4.9 assists on the season, 4 times reaching double digits in assists in a game. His 4.9 assist per game avg is the 6th highest ever in MU history. The Tigers won the conference holiday tournament (their 5th in 6 years) and went 21-8 on the year, but because they finished second in conference (only conference champs made the NCAA tournament, and MU declined the NIT's invitation) Sims missed reaching the postseason for the only time in his Tiger career. He was drafted by the Spurs in the 5th round, and appeared in 12 games for them.

# 73 - Dan Bingenheimer

Letterman - 1985, 1986

A 6'9 forward, Bingo didn't play high school ball until his senior year but was a JUCO All American who came to the Tigers in one of their best classes ever: him, Lynn Hardy, Jeff Strong, and Derrick Chievous. He started 26 games in his first year and avged 7.4 ppg and 4.5 rebounds, when the Tigers essentially started a shooting guard and four forwards. In the Rainbow Classic his senior year Bingenheimer was the leading scorer and rebounder as he led MU to a tournament championship. He tallied the 2nd highest mark for blocked shots in a season that year, a mark that is currently 7th all time. His final season still ranks among the top 30 ever at MU in points and his 61.2% shooting is 10th all time while his setting at the time was the second highest blocks season for a Tiger ever. Beingenheirmer’s ppg avg of 15.3 paired with the scoring of Chievous and Jeff Strong marks the only time in MU history that 3 players avged 15 ppg or more in the same season. He was taken with the 75th pick in the NBA draft by Golden State. Despite not catching on in the NBA he had 7 year career overseas before returning to the states in the CBA.

# 72 - Phil Scott

Letterman – 1919, 1920

One of the best shooting and quickest players of his era, Scott played forward and was also Missouri's designated FT shooter in an era when you could select your best to shoot for the entire team. In his first season Scott was the third scoring option on a team that would later be ranked #14 nationally in the Premo Polls. Unfortunately in a era of unbalanced scheduling MU's 11-3 mark (.786 winning%) finished second in conference to KSU's 9-2 record (.818 winning %). Prior to the next season, Hall of Fame Coach Walter Meanwell would return to Columbia and led what would be MU's finest season to date with Scott playing a key role. Scott would establish a new MU single game scoring record early on with a 27 point effort in a win over ISU. He would torch ku for 20 in a 38-16 MU route. MU would march to a conference title, going undefeated until the season's final game for a 17-1 overall record, and would later be ranked #2 nationally in the end of year Premo Poll. Scott would lead both the Tigers and the conference in scoring at 15.2 ppg in a season in which opponents averaged only 20.1 ppg overall against MU.

# 71 - Gary Link

Letterman - 1972, 1973, 1974

A 6'5 forward from St. Louis , Link played a supporting role his first two years at MU. However, they were the first two teams in MU history to win 20 games, won the conference tournament both years, and finished second in conference in both. Then as a senior Link stepped into the void left by graduated John Brown. In the conference tournament, Link again led the Tigers to a championship (their 3rd straight) scoring 26 points in the title game. For the year Link would top the 25 point mark 6 times and avg 17.3 ppg, 7th in the conference. He would be selected by Buffalo with the 99th pick in the NBA draft.

# 70 - Gene Jones

Letterman – 1967, 1968

A JUCO transfer and high flying 6'7 forward from Paducah, Kentucky Jones was the first star of the Norm Stewart era. His initial season with the Tigers was the last under Vanetta, and after early season contributions like 10 points and 17 rebounds in a win over Arkansas he turned in a 26 rebound effort against Rutgers which is the second highest rebounding game in MU history. Unfortunately Jones was then ruled ineligible and the Tigers went into a tailspin, resulting in the worst mark in program history at 3-22 and the end of the Bob Vanetta years. Despite the partial season, his rebounding avg of 11.8 per game is the highest ever for an MU junior. He regained eligibility as a senior, and in the debut of coach Norm Stewart it was Jones who lead the way with 19 in a 74-58 win over Arkansas on the road. He also had a big game in Stewart's first Big 8 victory, scoring 30 points and collecting 13 rebounds to defeat Colorado. On senior day he would score 21 in a 91-70 route of Nebraska. On the season Jones avged 18.7 ppg and 10.7 rebounds, the 10th best rebounding season in MU history. He was selected with the 134th pick of the NBA draft by the Bucks. Jones would serve on Norm’s staff as an assistant coach for 10 years from 1974-83.

# 69 - Marshall Craig

Letterman – 1928, 1929, 1930

A player who manned both the center and the guard position,Craig captained the freshman team and as a sophomore he was one of the most dependable scorers on MU's second place conference finishing team. His junior season marked the transition between the Mo Valley and the Big Six for MU, and the Tigers finished second again this time to undefeated OU. As a senior he would lead the Tigers in scoring at 8.9 ppg and was widely considered the league's most versatile player. It would also be the year that MU moved out of Rothwell Gymnasium and into $225,000 Brewer Field House. In his final game as a Tiger, he would led MU in scoring to defeat ku and clinch MU's first ever Big 6 championship. The Tigers would finish at 15 on the season and would later be ranked at #7 in the end of year Premo Polls. Craig would earn both First Team All Conference and All American recognition. Craig played in every game of his 3 year career and as a junior and senior he played every minute of all games but 4. He was elected to the MU Hall of Fame in 1992.

# 68 - Jimmy Mckinney

Letterman - 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006

A superstar shooting guard at the high school level from St. Louis, Mckinney was a huge recruiting get for the program and a symbol of recapturing the St. Louis talent pool. However, like many players from that era his career got sidetracked by playing under Quin Snyder's system. Never allowed to find a role, Mckinney was ultimately forced out of position to point guard due to necessity and correspondingly struggled. Still for his career he tallied 1,146 points (31st in school history), 422 rebounds, and 349 assists (9th in school history). Jimmy was 1 of only 4 MU players all time to reach 1,100 points, 400 rebounds, and 300 assists. He is the 8th best free throw shooter in program history. His final season he led all seniors in scoring in the Big 12 conference . However, he finished his career having suited up in more losses than any Tiger in history up to that point. Only 6 Tigers have played more minutes at MU than Mckinney and he made Academic All Conference as a junior.

# 67 - Julian Winfield

Letterman - 1994, 1995, 1996

A transfer after playing his freshman season at SLU in which he avged 9.5 ppg and 5.8 rebounds, the 6'4 swingman stepped in to Columbia after backing out of a commitment to ku as a sophmore and started 24 games on a Tiger team that would make a 9 game improvement in wins from the prior year and become the only undefeated conference team and #1 seed in the NCAA tournament in Tiger history. As a junior, Winfield was called upon to assume a larger role with the departing of 6 seniors and the season ending injury to Kelly Thames. He answered that call by finishing second on the team in scoring while also leading it in rebounding, FG% and assists as well as being the defensive stopper which propelled MU to another 20 win season and an NCAA tournament birth. His shot in the second round against top overall seed UCLA to put MU up by 1 with 4.8 seconds remaining would be remembered as one of the biggest buckets in program history had fate not stepped in the way in the form of Tyus Edney. His senior campaign would see the Tigers start as preseason top 15, but end in disappointment with an 18-15 record and a second round loss in the NIT, the first time MU had been reduced to participating in the NIT in 11 seasons. Stewart was forced to use Winfield as a point guard after Kendrick Moore's development didn't materialize, and a dazzling offensive rebounder the prior year became the guy standing at the top of the key passing the ball around and he struggled with turnovers trying to initiate the offense. The lone bright spot in the disappointing season was a victory over #3 ranked ku, where Winfield went 6-7 from the floor and was perfect at the foul line to lead the Tigers to a 77-73 upset. Winfield was one of the best rebounding guards in program history as well as a lock down defender.

# 66 - Travon Bryant

Letterman - 2001, 2002, 2002, 2003

One of only 4 McDonald's All American's ever to sign with MU out of high school, the 6'9 forward from California began playing with MU when he was only 17. He gained eligibility late and lost his redshirt opportunity when he played 3 minutes in the Braggin Rights game as a freshman, looking somewhat overwhelmed and behind in conditioning. A lefty who was a solid face up shooter, Bryant eventually extended his range to beyond the 3 point line and led the Tigers in 3 pt FG % in his senior year. For his career Bryant recorded 912 points and 666 rebounds and 119 blocked shots, a blocks total that ranks fifth in Missouri history. He is one of only four Tigers all time to record 6 blocks in a single game. Travon both played in and won as many NCAA tournament games as any Tiger in history. Had he retained a final year of eligibility and been aligned with a class his own age he might well have come closer to realizing the very high expectations he came to Columbia with.

# 65 - Brian Grawer

Letterman - 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001

6'0 guard from St. Louis, Grawer was one of the headiest playmakers who spanned the bridge between the Stewart and Snyder regimes. Grawer ran the point for Stewarts final two teams, as a freshman he led MU in three-point shooting (45.6 percent), free throw shooting (78.9 percent) and steals (45), and was second on squad with 79 assists as well as leading all Big 12 freshmen with a 2.25-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. As a sophmore he was named to the Big 12 Honorable Mention team and helped Norm return to the NCAA tournament on the highest finishing Big 12 conference team in MU history. That season he led the conference in 3 point % at 49.6% which also ranked 3rd in the nation and is the 3rd most accurate season in MU history from behind the arc. Grawer scored 27 against ISU and had a game high 18 in MU's win over ku in Lawrence that season (their last win ever there). As a junior he set the all time MU FT% mark for a season. Probably his biggest contribution was being a coach on the floor, as Snyder called him the best leader he had ever been around. He was again Honorable Mention All Big 12 as a senior, as MU won its first NCAA tournament game in 6 years. Grawer currently ranks 6th on the all time charts for 3-pt. FGs (210), and in 3-pt. FG percentage (41.9%), 3rd in steals (195 - just one shy of the school record) and 4th in FT% (83.7%). He is one of only 5 Tigers to make 8 three pointers in a game. Two observations that perfectly sum up Brian: if there was a loose ball on the floor it was shocking if Grawer did not come up with it and if he got a good look at the basket it was shocking when the ball didn't go in. He was named Academic All Conference as a senior.

# 64 - Mark Dressler

Letterman - 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983

A 6'7 forward from St. Louis that won a state title with teammate Steve Stipanovich at DeSmet, Dressler's career was ultimately derailed by a knee injury that cost him the entire 1980-81 season. He contributed to three Big Eight championship teams while shooting 54.9% from the field for his career (the 6th highest mark in MU history), and his 63.6% as a sophomore is still the 4th highest mark in program history for a season. But few players legacy are more defined by a single game's effort as Dressler's. After star forward Curtis Berry went down with a sprained knee late in the 1979-80 season, Dressler scored 18 points to lead Missouri to a win over Oklahoma that clinched the league title for the Tigers. However it was an effort two weeks later that secured Dressler's place in Missouri hoops history. In the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Tigers faced a powerhouse Notre Dame team that featured five future NBA players. But Dressler – the least heralded player on the floor – dominated. He scored 32 points on 13-of-16 field goal shooting, and sealed an 87-84 overtime victory with a clutch steal and pair of free throws. Dressler was nearly as impressive in Missouri's next game (he made 9 of 11 shots from the field), but the Tigers fell to top-seeded LSU, 68-63. In a career that spanned 5 seasons due to a redshirt, the Tigers never finished below 2nd in conference in any of them.

# 63 - Ray Bob Carey

Letterman – 1962, 1963, 1964
A 6'7 forward from Cameron, Missouri Carey came to MU in the latter days of the Stalcup years and finished his career under Bob Vanetta. As a junior he would lead MU in both points at 14.2 ppg and rebounds at 8.5 and the Tigers defeated two top 10 ranked teams in #8 Indiana and #7 Colorado which Carey scored with only 5 seconds remaining to provide the 60-58 margin of victory. Carey would earn second team all conference. MU would defeat #8 Ohio State in his senior year and finished with their first winning record in 8 seasons. Carey would avg 18.9 ppg and 9.9 rebounds, and earn First Team All Conference Honors. He finished as MU's 5th highest scorer and is 40th all time at MU in scoring with 1,016 points and has the 8th highest career rebounding avg at 8.5 ppg. Carey was drafted by San Francisco in the 1964 draft.

# 62 - Stefhon Hannah

Letterman - 2006, 2007

A 6'1 JUCO guard from Chicago, Hannah stepped into the talent void left during Anderson's first season and immediately dominated all facets of the Tigers play. He led Missouri in scoring (15.4), assists (4.6), steals (2.4) and minutes played (30.4) and was named the unanimous choice for Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year. His 13 assists in a game was the highest single game mark in MU history for a non-overtime game, and he scored in double digits in 26 of the Tigers 30 games. He recorded 7 steals against Steven F. Austin, a single game mark that has only been topped once in MU history. The 15.4 ppg was the highest mark for a first year Tiger in 21 years, and 4.6 assists avg the highest mark by a Tiger in 15 years. Coming off an 11th place finish the year before and losing 4 of their top 5 players in terms of production, the Tigers made a 6 game improvement in the win column and were on the NCAA bubble until losing their opening game of the Conference Tournament thanks in huge part to the play of Hannah. His 2.4 steals per game is the highest mark in program history.
In his senior campaign he was named a preseason Cousy Award candidate. He would lead all scorers in a 3 point loss to top ranked Michigan State, as well as pouring in 28 against Arkansas in the non-con. Then in the Big 12 opener he lead the Tigers to a dominating performance against eventual league champion Texas by virtue of winning the backcourt battle against future lottery pick DJ Augustine. After securing a road win with a steal and basket over Colorado, Hannah was involved in an altercation that left him with a broken jaw. He immediately returned to Chicago and in his absence fell behind in his class work and was eventually dismissed from the team (which went into a tailspin without him and finished 16-16). At the time of his injury he was again leading the Tigers in scoring (14.7 ppg) and his 5.25 assists per game avg was the second highest in MU history for a season. His 2.2 career steals per game avg is the highest in program history. He was named the NBA D-League Defensive Player of the Year and avged 18.4 ppg and 4.8 assists in 2012.

# 61 - Derek Grimm

Letterman - 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997

A tough and physical 6'10 forward from Illinois, Grimm offensively was an adept 3 point shooter and a skilled face up jump shooter to go along with his bruising style of defense. His introduction for most Tiger fans was his overtime play in the Braggin Rights game of 1993-94 in the epic eventual 108-107 MU victory. He would provide depth and even start two games that year as MU went undefeated in conference play and received a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. He would step into a starting role as a sophomore, and log the 4th highest 3 point FG% in school history that year and earn a spot on the All Big 8 Improved Team. In the season's final moments against UCLA, he was the last Tiger between Edney and the basket, standing arms straight up to avoid the foul as Edney shot over him. As a senior he would score 20 points in handing what is arguably the best jayhawk team ever their only loss of the season and in the inaugural Big 12 tournament he led a surprising run by the 10th seed Tigers to the title game before falling short in the championship (the first time MU had played 4 games in 4 days since 1914) in what would ultimately be his last game as a Tiger. He was the 31st player in MU history to score 1,000 points and currently ranks 38th all time in scoring at MU, as well as being the 3rd best free throw shooter in MU history. He was the 17th Tiger to score 1,000 points and collect 500 rebounds in his Tiger career. After his senior year he won the 3 point shooting contest held at the Final Four and went on to play briefly for Sacramento in the NBA before embarking in a career overseas.

# 60 - Max Collings

Letterman – 1930, 1931, 1932

Collings had the game of the modern day point guard with the ability to drive, pass, and shoot and he played 2 seasons on the gridiron for MU. In his first Tiger basketball season he helped MU to its first ever Big 6 championship and a final retroactive ranking of #7 in the Premo Polls. Unfortunately, he was lost for the first part of his junior season due to academic shortcomings and MU opened the year at 1-6. He would return against OU and the Tigers would reverse fortune with a 22-14 win, and from then on they were a different team. With Collings back in the lineup MU would win 8 of their last 11 games and he was named First Team All American despite the shortened season. Collings was named Captain as a senior and earned second team All Conference but MU finished one game out of first in the conference race.

# 59 - Lynn Hardy

Letterman - 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988

The original “Detroit Tiger” from Cooley High, Lynn was a solid contributor who started 5 games as a freshman. He would move into a starting role as a sophomore and avg 9.7 ppg from the point guard spot while dishing out 4 assists per game for the 8th highest total in MU history, leading the Tigers back to the NCAA tournament after a two year absence. He then upped his scoring to more than 11 a game as he quarterbacked MU to an unexpected Big 8 championship as well as conference tourney championship. It was during this season that Lynn made the first 3 pointer in MU history. For his senior year, the defending champs returned basically everyone of consequence as well as adding impact transfers Byron Irvon and John McIntyre and a freshman Doug Smith. But a back injury sidelined Hardy for 17 games and he would only start 4 games and avg 4.0 ppg. The Tigers would fall from preseason favorites to 4th place in his absence. Still Hardy's leadership, poise and tenacity helped Mizzou return to the league's upper echelon in the second half of the 1980's. He currently ranks 9th all time in MU history in assists, as well as having both of the top two season records in terms of most steals, and finished his career as MU’s steals leader and is still just two steals off the pace for the most ever for a Tiger. Hardy was a 3 year captain for the Tigers. He would go on to play overseas and two season in the CBA, and after coming back to earn his degree in 1993 he served as an assistant coach on Norm Stewart’s staff for the 1997-98 season.

# 58 - Moon McCrary

Letterman - 1981, 1982

A JUCO transfer from Three Rivers at the guard position, Marvin “Moon” McCrary played a key role on two of the Tigers best teams ever. A defensive standout who even at only 6'3 would often draw the opposing small forwards and shut them down, his efforts helped the Tigers to the 1981 Big Eight championship which was Mizzou's second straight title. As a senior, Moon would take on a greater offensive load and up his scoring to over 9 ppg while still drawing the top defensive assignment. He was named MVP of the Show Me Classic and for the season he shot a ridiculous 63.5% from the field, the 5th highest mark in MU history and the highest ever for a non-post player. MU would rush out to a 20-0 record beginning to the season and claim MU's first ever #1 ranking in the polls. The Tigers would repeat as conference champions as well as will the conference tournament, and set the then all time program mark with 27 victories in a season. McCary was selected in the 5th round of the NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns but did not make the roster, and returned to Columbia to eventually become a Captain on the police force.

# 57 - Gary Leonard

Letterman - 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989

One of the tallest Tigers ever at 7'1, Leonard came from Belleville, Illinois and made an immediate impact by starting 20 games as a freshman. A consistent if unspectacular player in terms of production his next two years he doubled his scoring output as a senior and started all 37 games on what was arguably the Tigers most talented team ever. His .628 field goal percentage as a junior was among the nation's leaders in 1987-88. His teams made the NCAA tournament all 4 years, won a league title and also two conf tournaments. He is fourth all time in MU history in FG%, 8th in blocked shots, and ranks second in most games played as a Tiger. Leonard was named Academic All Conference in 1989. He was the 34th pick in the 1989 draft and played parts of 3 seasons in the NBA for Minnesota and Atlanta. After a brief overseas career he retired to Columbia and became an investment banker and part time color analyst for Tiger games.

# 56 - Jason Sutherland

Letterman - 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997

A 6'1 skywalker from S. Dakota, Sutherland played the game with a reckless abandon and was a legitimate force and game changer on the defensive end. Introduced to the MU fanbase in the epic overtime thriller of a Braggin Rights game in 1993-94, Sutherland's play in the extra periods helped carry MU to a 108-107 win that changed the course of the season and eventually led to MU's only undefeated conference championship and #1 NCAA seed. He would move into the starting lineup as a sophomore and along with O'liney became the team's deep threat. He would enjoy his best season statistically as a junior when he led the Tigers in scoring, but MU after starting ranked preseason #14 would fail to qualify for the NCAA tournament for the first time in 11 seasons. In the season’s best performance he came off the bench for 32 points against Arkansas. As a senior he was named the 'most annoying player in college basketball' by Sports Illustrated as well as Honorable Mention All Conference. He finished his career by leading MU on an improbable run to the Big 12 tournament championship game as a 10 seed in the conference’s initial tournament, scoring 16.3 ppg and making the all tournament team. At the conclusion of his playing career he was the all-time leading three-point shooter (now 8th) and is the 3rd most accurate free-throw shooter in MU history. His junior season currently ranks 5th all time in 3 point % for a season. He also holds the MU record by making 39 consecutive free throws, and was 2 off the all time mark by making 18 points from the line in a single game. He is 29th all time in points scored at MU with 1,194 for his career.

# 55 - George Bond

Letterman - 1920, 1921, 1922

A versatile player from Pleasant Hill, Bond played guard, forward, and center during his MU days. A superb athlete (also a high jumper on the MU track team) Bond typically drew the Tiger's toughest defensive assignments. But he was also adept at scoring, frequently tallying double figures (23 against Washington) during a time in which teams often scored less than 30 points in an entire game. In his three varsity seasons the Tigers compiled a cumulative 50-3 record and won three conference championships making him the Tiger with the highest career winning %. Probably more impressive, MU's national season end rankings in the Premo Polls in his three seasons were #2, #1, and #1 respectively. He was the Captain of the Premo champions of 1922. Upon graduating, Bond was promoted from team captain to head coach and in his first year as a head coach would lead MU to the #3 end of season Premo ranking. Bond remained the head coach at MU for four seasons total but was never able to duplicate his first year success.

# 54 - Thomas Gardner

Letterman - 2004, 2005, 2006

A 6'5 guard from Portland, Gardner was a physically imposing defender and athletic jump shooter as a freshman with a flair for big shots. He hit a clutch three pointer in overtime to knock off #6 ranked OSU and scored 17 points in only 13 minutes against ISU while earning a starting role in 14 of the season's final 15 games. As a sophomore he would finish second on the team in ppg, including 23 in a win over #7 ku, despite only starting 13 games. He would lead the Tigers in 3 pointers made that season although he shot an abysmal 27% from behind the line. In a preview of things to come Gardner would score 11 points in the last 2 minutes and overtime to stun #16 OU. As a junior, Gardner would score 551 points which is the 25th highest scoring season in MU history but his defensive focus slipped dramatically while he continued to bomb away from behind the arc, making the 5th most in program history for a season. But he will forever be linked to one game. He was leading the conference in scoring coming in, and dropped 40 points in a victory over ku in what is the highest scoring individual effort ever at Mizzou Arena. The Tigers were down by seven points, 74-67, with 39 seconds remaining in regulation but reeled off a 10-3 run to end the second half and send the game into overtime tied at 77. He became the sixth player in Mizzou history to score 30-plus points against Kansas, and the first since Booker in 1994 and it was the second most all-time in school history versus the jayhawks. The season would end in disaster however at 12-16 and Gardner would never appear in an NCAA tournament game for the Tigers, becoming the first Tiger since prior to 1976 to play at least 3 seasons with MU and not play in the NCAA tourney. Gardner ranks 36th all time in scoring at MU and 10th in 3 pointers made. He had 3 games of 30 or more points in his 3 year Tiger career. After his coach quit midseason, Gardner elected to turn pro as a junior and went undrafted. After a stint overseas he played for both Chicago and Atlanta in the NBA.

# 53 - Clay Johnson

Letterman - 1977, 1978

A sky walker at 6'4 from Penn Valley Community College in KC that is still 6th all time per NJCAA records with a 20.8 rebounding average, Clay was called upon to replace the production of the great Willie Smith. He responded by avging 13.1 points and 7.9 rebounds, as well as turning in one of the great performances in Mizzou history when the Tigers visited Colorado, scoring 39 points on 14-of-17 field goal shooting while making all eleven of his free throws. MU would win the conference tournament, 21 games, and finish second in conference (unfortunately in an era when second place meant no tourney). Then as a senior Clay would up his scoring to over 17 a game, but the Tigers would limp to a 4-10 Big 8 season that would see them as the 6th seed in the tournament. In just the second year of automatic births from postseason tournaments, MU would stun the league to again win the conference tournament. At 14-15, they were pitted against 15th ranked Utah in the opening round. Clay would score 30 points, but MU would fall in double overtime. Norm Stewart called Johnson the greatest leaper in MU program history, and no Tiger has come close to Clay’s 4 year college career total of 1,497 rebounds. Clay was drafted by Portland in the NBA, and would play 3 seasons. He won an NBA championship with the Lakers, one of only 3 Tigers to ever to win a NBA ring. He currently runs the Clay Johnson Foundation for underprivileged youths.

# 52 - Linas Klieza

Letterman - 2004, 2005

The 6'8 power forward from Lithuania was the highest ranked player signed by Quin Snyder (he even came with a Klieza Watch on Tigerboard) and unlike the stereotypes on European players he was anything but soft. And upon joining a preseason top 5 team he did not disappoint. He was an absolute force on the offensive glass, and despite being somewhat raw and extremely hot headed displayed a promising offensive game. He was leading the team in rebounding and was 3rd in scoring despite coming off the bench until a shoulder injury in his 16th game ended his season, but even in such limited action he received votes for the conference freshman of the year. Then as a sophomore he assumed the lead of the team and paced the Tigers in both scoring and rebounding (the first to do so in the same season since Albert White in 1999). He registered 20 or more points nine times and reached the 30-point mark twice. Unfortunately he also attempted 113 three pointers at which he converted at a rate of only 27%, which also drew him away from the basket and his main strength of offensive rebounding and he proved to be a very subpar defensive player. He was named Honorable Mention in the Big 12 in what was the 31st highest scoring season in MU history. As a final act, in the Big 12 tournament he opened with 26 pts and 11 rebounds in a victory over NU and then 33 points in a 4 point loss to 1st seed OU. He also earned All-Tournament honors averaging 29.5 points and 9 rebounds. Electing to turn pro after his sophomore year (never appearing in an NCAA tournament game for the Tigers and leading MU to their first losing season since the mid-1990's) he was selected with the 27th pick in the NBA draft by Portland and immediately traded to Denver.

# 51 - Jeff Strong

Letterman - 1985, 1986

A high scoring JUCO guard and teammate at Moberly of Malcolm Thomas who sat out his sophomore season after signing with MU, Strong came to MU and made an immediate impact. Just weeks into his Tiger career he scored 24 points in a shocking win over seventh-ranked North Carolina in the championship game of the Hawaii Pacific Invitational. For the season he would average 16.8 ppg for the 28th highest scoring season in MU history and be named to the Basketball Weekly First Team All American JUCO Transfer team. It is still the highest ppg output for a first year Tiger since Willie Smith's initial season in 1975. He missed the early part of his senior season to a stress fracture in his foot, but would return to average 18.5 ppg and help MU return to the NCAA tournament after a 2 year absence. His career scoring avg of 17.5 ppg is currently 8th all time (one of only 3 Tigers since 1976 to average that mark for their career) and despite playing only two seasons for MU reached the 1,000 point mark as a Tiger. He was drafted by Milwaukee in the NBA draft but did not make the team.

# 50 - Medford Park

Letterman - 1953, 1954, 1955

A 6'2 guard from Lexington, MO who turned down an offer to play baseball with the Pittsburg Pirates to attend MU, Park was both one of the top perimeter defenders of his day as well as a prolific scorer. Med avged 8.6 ppg as a sophomore and 9.5 ppg as a junior. His senior season the Tigers would climb as high as #6 in the AP poll with Park averaging 15.4 ppg. He led the Tigers with 24 points in the title game of the conference tournament, an MU championship victory, and he tallied 20 points in beating ku in the last ever meeting of the clubs in Hoch Auditorium to end ku's 33 game win streak at home. In his final game as a Tiger he reached a new career high of 27 in a 90-71 win to complete the sweep of ku. He was First Team All Conference in 1955 and an All American. His teams never finished below 3rd in conference in any year he lettered, a feat that had not been achieved for several decades prior. At the conclusion of his playing career he was fourth all time on the MU scoring list with 800 points. He later played a 5 year career with St. Louis in the NBA (beating out Norm Stewart for the Hawks final roster spot) and became one of only three Tigers to ever win an NBA championship. After his playing days he became the first executive director of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mo.

# 49 - Malcolm Thomas

Letterman - 1984, 1985

The national JUCO player of the year at Moberly after averaging 23.2 ppg and 12.3 rebounds, the 6'7 forward arrived on campus following the departure of the Sundvold / Stipo class that had brought MU 4 straight conference titles. He was asked to immediately carry the load, and responded with 16.4 points and 9 rebounds (both team leads, the rebounding average the highest for a 1st year Tiger under Norm Stewart) as well as leading the team in FG% at 52%. In the season's opening game he nearly led MU to a monumental upset of top ranked UNC with Jordan/Perkins but MU ultimately fell 64-57 due to shooting 44% as a team from the free throw line. However he would score 25 and have 13 boards in a victory over Ohio State and lead the Tigers with 21 in a victory over 19th ranked Michigan State. He put up 34 against the Sooners, his career high (he would score 76 points in 3 matchups with Tisdale and OU). But despite starting at 11-3 in the non-conference MU would only go 5-9 for 6th place and not play in the postseason. Thomas would earn Honorable Mention All Conference but miss the season's final 3 games after Norm Stewart dismissed him from the team for insubordination (later turned into just a suspension and forgiven by Stewart). As a senior he would make first team All Conference and honorable mention All American by upping his scoring average to 17.4 ppg while shooting 53%, the 24th highest scoring season in MU history. This season when MU and UNC met, MU defeated the #7 Tarheels thanks to 23 points from Thomas. In just 2 seasons he broke the 1,000 point barrier at MU (at the time only Willie Smith had more points as a two year Tiger). However MU never finished higher than 3rd in conference and only had a first round NIT loss to show for in terms of postseason play during his career. Thomas scored more points in college than any Tiger other than Derrick Cheivous with 2.567 points scored, and grabbed more rebounds in college than any Tiger other than Clay Johnson with 1,330 in his college career. He was selected by the Clippers in the NBA draft but did not make the team.

# 48 - Keyon Dooling

Letterman: 1999, 2000

A 6'3 guard from Florida, Dooling was one of the more electrifying athletes to don a Tiger uniform. He possessed a lightening quick crossover and explosive speed, as well as being a dynamic leaper. As a freshman he scored 15 points in MU's last win to date at Allen Field House and helped MU to their highest ever Big 12 conference finish and a return to the NCAA tournament after a 3 year absence. Dooling finished 2nd in the Conference Freshman of the Year Voting, but in a blowout loss to Colorado Norm Stewart benched Dooling and the freshman broke down crying. In the coaching transition of the offseason, Dooling greatly took to the younger and more player friendly incoming Snyder. His sophomore season he became the only guard since MU began tracking the stat to lead the team in blocked shots for a season. He would also lead the team at 15.3 ppg (5th highest avg for a sophomore Tiger) from the point guard spot as well as leading in assists. On a very undersized team in Snyder's first year as head coach, Dooling would lead the Tigers back to the NCAA tournament. Dooling was selected as second team All Big 12 and the team MVP at the awards banquet. After the season he declared for the NBA draft, and became the first Tiger selected in the first round since Anthony Peeler and the first ever early declaration to be drafted in program history when he went to Orlando with the 10th overall pick. He had more than a decade long NBA career in which he also became VP of the NBA Player’s Union.

# 47 - Lionel Smith

Letterman - 1955, 1956, 1957

A sharp shooting guard from Madison, MO who had averaged 37 ppg as a high school senior and once scored 71 points in a single game, Lionel was part of the most successful years of the Sparky Stalcup era. Making an immediate impact his first year of eligibility, Smith avged 10 ppg on a team that included veteran stars such as Norm Stewart, Med Park, and Bob Reiter. The Tigers would climb to as high as #6 in the polls and finish second in conference, as well as winning the conf tourney. In the game that would decide the league title, it was the sophomore Smith who led the Tigers with 15 but the Tigers would lose to Colorado to allow the Buffs to capture the crown. The Tigers would again finish 2nd in his junior campaign and Smith would up his scoring to 14.1 ppg and earn 2nd team All Conference recognition. His senior year he took over leadership of the team and in a game against Marquette, Smith destroyed the single game MU record for points (the year prior Norm had scored 36 in a game) by scoring 44 despite leaving the court with 4 minutes remaining. It is still the second highest individual game scoring output in program history, done without the benefit of a shot clock or a three point line. For the season he would average 20.4 ppg, the 9th highest senior scoring season at MU. And at the conclusion of his playing career his 992 total points ranked 3rd all time in MU history.

# 46 - Greg Cavener

Letterman - 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985

In MU history, possibly no other player was more consistently versatile than Greg Cavener. The 6'9 forward from Springfield came to MU as a reserve on the 1982 conference championship team that would win the most games in school history up to that point. Then as a sophomore he would move into a starting role, starting all 34 games, for another conference championship team and one that would win only 1 game fewer than that of the previous season. In the first game of the year, Cavener's defense was a catalyst in shutting down Sam Perkins as MU held top rated UNC to only 60 points and pulled off a huge win. He would also that year guard 3 time National Player of the Year Ralph Sampson as well as hold NC State’s Thurl Baily to 25% shooting as MU defeated the eventual National Champion Wolfpack 49-42. Cavener would avg double digits in points, nearly 9 boards a game, and almost 3 assists. As a junior in a game against Wisc-Green Bay he posted the only triple double in MU history with 16 points, 10 boards, and 10 assists in a Tiger rout. But MU would fail to not only win the conference for the first time in 4 seasons but also fail to make the postseason, despite Cavener's average of 12 ppg, 8.7 rebounds, and over 3 assists on the season. His versatility would be paramount in his senior season as the Tigers fielded one of the more unique starting lineups in program history. Essentially Jeff Strong was a shooting guard, and he was flanked by 4 forwards in Cavener, Cheivous, Bingenhiemer, and Thomas who were all at least 6’7. Cavener would avg 9.2 ppg, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists and helped the Tigers to a 3rd place conference finish. At the conclusion of his playing career Cavener's versatility was most evident as he posted numbers of 1,097 points (34th all time), 894 rebounds (sixth), 322 assists (eleventh), 69 blocked shots (ninth), a 54.8% field goal percentage (eighth), 22 double double games (10th). He finished his career as MU’s all time assist leader and was second in steals. Cavener was selected by Golden State with the 95th pick of the NBA draft but went overseas and played 5 years in France.

# 45 - Ron Coleman

Letterman - 1965, 1966, 1967

Coleman came to MU from Jeff City as a guard (he also lettered as a centerfielder in baseball), and although he posted brilliant individual numbers it was a career marked by some of the most futile times to ever be a Tiger. In his first season of eligibility as a sophomore he would average 11.8 ppg and top 20 points on five separate occasions including a 30 point performance against ISU, and the Tigers would finish 13-11. That season would be the high water mark from a team perspective of Coleman’s tenure. As a junior he would score 36 against OU, and 34 against Santa Clara and Rice. For the year Coleman would average better than 21 ppg and earn 2nd team All Conference honors. He was only the 3rd Tiger to top 500 points in a season and led the Big 8 in scoring. But as a team…MU went 3-21 for one of the worst seasons in program history. As a senior he would again average more than 20 ppg while shooting over 87% from the line. The season started well with a win over Arkansas in which Coleman led all scorers and after four games the Tigers stood at 2-2. However only one more victory was in store all year…and MU would finish 3-22 with head coach Bob Vanetta announcing in the middle of the season that he would retire at seasons end. Coleman would again be named 2nd team All Conference but his final two years as a Tiger saw the team go 6-49 combined. He was selected to play in the East-West All Star game. Only 8 other Tigers have had more 30 point games than Coleman for his career. Coleman ended his Tiger days in second place in school history in scoring and he is currently 23rd with 1,295 points scored and his career scoring avg of 17.8 ppg is the 6th highest in program history. He is one of only four MU players to average 20 or more points in two separate seasons. Coleman was selected by San Diego with the 102nd pick of the 1967 NBA draft.

# 44 - Leo Lyons

Letterman - 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

A uniquely skilled post player capable of scoring inside and out in a variety of ways, at 6'9 Lyons was the last high profile Quin Snyder recruit by selecting MU over Kentucky and joining the Tigers in the midst of Quin's downward spiral. His first two seasons were most notable for inconsistency and just not quite putting his talented package together. Then as a junior he would make the conference All Improved team by finishing in the top 10 in the Big 12 in both points and rebounds as well as leading the conference in FG%. His consistency would start to come around as he would reach double figures in 20 games, and top the 20 point mark six times. In a sign of his high end potential, against OSU he turned in a performance of 27 points and 18 rebounds (the rebound record at Mizzou Arena) while shooting 92.3% from the field. But his legacy will be defined through his senior campaign. He would average nearly 15 ppg in just 23 min per game in Anderson's system (with a high of 30 points against Baylor) and had perfected a spot up jumper to compliment his inside and off the dribble moves. He gave the frantic pace the Tiger played at an option in the half court, and in a testament to how efficient he was he would finish 2nd in the nation in free throws drawn per minute. He would emerge as a leader on what would become the Tiger team with the most wins in a season in program history. In the Tigers first NCAA Tourney game in 6 years, Lyons was dominant with a double double consisting of 23 points and 10 rebounds. And he would continue to help lead MU through tournament play until it fell to #1 seed UConn in the Elite Eight. The 539 points he scored his senior campaign are the 24th highest in school history, and the 1,231 total points also make him 26th all time in career points at MU. In an environment where everyone was quitting around him, Lyons not only stuck it out but turned the program around to point it back in the right direction.

# 43 - Wendell Baker

Letterman - 1928, 1929, 1930

An absolute giant in his time, the 6'6 guard from Kansas City dominated the game from the defensive side. At a time when each made basket was followed by a jump ball for possession, Baker was a unique weapon in that he allowed the Tigers to control possession by dominating and winning nearly every tip. Limited offensively Baker rarely scored, but the man he was guarding literally almost never did either. His first year on varsity would be the last year of the Missouri Valley for MU, and MU would finish 2nd. His junior season would see MU again finish 2nd in the newly formed Big 6, and Baker would earn All Big Six honors. In his senior season, Missouri would transition out of Rothwell Gym as their home into the lavish monument to indoor sports that would eventually be called Brewer Fieldhouse. Fittingly, MU would win their first ever Big 6 Conference title that season and would later be ranked with a Premo Ranking of #7 in the nation. Baker would again earn first team all conference honors, the first Tiger in 8 years to be recognized in back to back seasons. Not only was Baker's team accomplishment of conference champs noteworthy, but it was even more so in hindsight as it would be the last outright conference title MU would win for 46 years.

# 42 - John Cooper

Letterman - 1932, 1933, 1934

In terms of basketball, rare are the true innovators or those who bring even somewhat revolutionary change to the game. MU had one such player in 5'11 Cooper from Smith Mills, Kentucky. Cooper is credited as the first player in college basketball to successfully use the jump shot. Initially a center despite his small size, Cooper was able to leap and put both hands in the basket and he coupled that with superior quickness to other post players to elevate or go around them. Nicknamed “Jump Shot” Cooper because of his unorthodox shooting method, Cooper exploded onto the scene in his second game by scoring 5 points in the final 40 seconds of gametime (MU only scored 25 points the entire game) to lift MU to a victory over SLU. He would continue at that pace and go on to lead the entire conference in scoring as a sophomore, and earn first team All Conference honors. He would follow that up with another All Conference season (4th in conference in scoring) the next year despite his effectiveness being limited due to the successful whining of ku coach Phog Allen that led to the adoption of the 3 second in the lane rule. Thus, stripped of his advantage over taller players, Cooper moved to the perimeter and became MU's first long range jump shooter. But as impactful as his game was on the court (he also lettered in track at MU and won a conference championship in the quarter mile), it was his contributions to academia where he made his biggest mark. After serving as an assistant coach at MU for 2 seasons, he moved on to USC and Indiana as one of the nation's leaders in the field of kinesiology, and as president of the 35,000-member American Association for Health.

# 41 - Nathan Buntin

Letterman - 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990

The 6'9 forward from Detroit and son of former Michigan star Bill Buntin came to MU and as a freshman played the second most minutes on the team right out of the gate. “Cool Breeze” scored 22 against Illinois and 28 against KSU and was the third highest scoring freshman in program history with 402 points for a 11.8 ppg and was second on the team in scoring. The Tigers were the surprise winners of the Big 8 conference in his first season thanks in large part to his contributions. The arrival of Doug Smith the next year meant decreased minutes for Buntin, but he still managed to average 9 ppg on what was the highest scoring MU team ever up to that point but one that finished only 4th in conference and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Then as a junior, Buntin would be lost in the shuffle of what may have been the Tigers most talented team ever. MU won the most games in program history to that point, but Buntin averaged only 13 minutes per game and 4.6 ppg. Not to be forgotten, he roared back as a senior. Buntin was Sports Illustrated's National Player of the Week in the non-conference for No. 4-ranked Missouri with averages of 24.5 points and 15.5 rebounds as the Tigers beat #7 Arkansas and two other non conference opponents. Later, he scored 22 points as Mizzou beat #1 Kansas and ascended to number 1 in the polls for the first time in eight years. For the season, he averaged 14.8 points and 9.5 boards per game (leading the team with 13 double doubles) and MU would win another conference title. The 304 rebounds that season was the 6th highest in MU single season history. In his final game, one in which he would lead the Tigers with 21 points, his three point play with under a minute to tie the game would be the last points of the season for MU as Northern Iowa's Maurice Newby hit a 25 footer at the buzzer to knock MU from the tournament. He is currently 22nd all time at MU with 1,308 points scored and is 10th in program history in career FG%. After being drafted by Grand Rapids of the CBA he instead elected to play overseas in Poland for several years.

# 40 - Joe Scott

Letterman - 1959, 1960, 1961

The “Gainsville Gunner” came to MU after averaging 31 ppg as a high school senior, the 6'4 guard was a precursor to Jason Sutherland in that he not only shot a lot…but also fought a lot. In his first year on varsity Scott would average 9.9 ppg as a supporting player, but MU would lose a then school record 19 games and become the first team to ever finish 8th in the Big 8 (conference had just expanded to 8 teams that season). His junior season he would team with classmate Charlie Henke to form one of the best inside out combo's in MU history. In the season's first game Scott scored 26 in a win over Washington, he put in 31 against Indiana in another Tiger victory, and Scott would score 32 against conference foe Oklahoma. For the season, Scott would average 18.4 ppg and lead the team in FT shooting. As a senior, he became only the 4th Tiger to score 1,000 points in his career in a game against KSU. After putting up 31 against OSU, on March 6th, 1961 in a game against Nebraska Scott would make a permanent footprint on MU's program. With NU attempting to shut down Henke (he had scored 41 in the previous meeting) Scott took control. The 46 points he scored that night (without the benefit of either a shot clock or a 3 point line) still stands as the all time single game record at MU 50+ years later, making it one of the older still standing records. He would average 16.5 ppg on the season. Scott would finish his career in 4th place at MU in scoring, and today despite only playing 3 seasons he is still 33rd with 1,106 points.

# 39 - Fred Williams

Letterman - 1915, 1916, 1917

A gifted long range shooter with a unique combination of both size and athleticism unlike any previously seen in Columbia, Williams played center for MU as well as being a high jumper on the track team. His vertical leap would prove especially valuable in an era where jump balls followed each made basket. His first season at MU was also the first of coach Van Gent, who brought with him the Wisconsin style of short passing game and high % shots that had previously not been seen in the region. That season the Tigers improved from 4-12 the previous year to 8-6. In the opener of his junior season, MU held Washington without a first half field goal and Williams led the team with 16 points. Next came ku who had won 30 of the previous 34 against MU. MU would take the first game to snap the streak and in the next one completely dominate the jayhawks by opening up a 25-5 halftime lead and resting their starters the remainder of the game. As the Columbia Tribune headlined proclaimed the next day: “Playing the scrubs against ku! Fond dream, thou art real at last.” With less than 2 weeks remaining the Tigers stood at a perfect 9-0. After a loss to KSU ruined a chance at a perfect season, MU again crushed ku 41-10 as Williams over doubled the output of the opposition with 24 points of his own. Unfortunately MU had to settle for second as Nebraska swept through the Valley undefeated. Williams was named as MU's first ever All American and player of the year in the conference, and MU would later be ranked 10th nationally in the end of year Premo Poll. Unfortunately in the offseason, Williams coach would be lured away by Texas thanks to a salary of $2,500 and duties of athletics director and coach of the basketball, football and track teams. Williams would start right where he left off, scoring 21 in a 47-21 win to open the season. Next he would overcome a badly sprained ankle to score 6 points in the closing minutes of a 28-25 win over ISU. Williams would play injured the rest of the way. The season would come down to a pair of games against KSU, who was challenging MU for the title. The first game went to KSU 26-22 despite 14 from Williams, and MU would fall again in the second to again finish second in conference. Williams was again an All Valley selection and lead the conference in scoring at 13.3 ppg. Each of his seasons MU finished with a winning record marking the first time in program history of consecutive winning years, and he will forever be MU's first All American.

# 38 - Don Tomlinson

Letterman - 1968, 1969, 1970

The Bragg City, MO native came to MU at 6'5 and his arrival on the varsity coincided with the return home of new head coach Norm Stewart as he tried to rebuild his old program. In Norm's first ever conference win, it was a sophomore Tomlinson who chipped in with 21 points, then later he made a key play to close out Norm's first win in Allen Field Dump in a 67-66 victory. Tomlinson would score a then career high 30 against KSU, but MU would fall by two 69-67. For the season Tomlinson would set a new sophomore scoring record at MU with 394 points and he would average 15.2 ppg and over 5 boards. His junior season saw Tomlinson set an MU record that still stands when he made 20 free throws (on 22 attempts). After defeating ku in Columbia, MU traveled to Lawrence to attempt the sweep. Before the game, Stewart sent Tomlinson across the floor during warm-ups to inform ku coach Owens that MU favored their end of the floor and would be taking it…which the indignant Owens ultimately accommodated as Norm stood laughing behind the bleachers. On the strength of Tomlinson's 15 out of 18 from the free throw line, MU completed the sweep with a 56-55 victory. MU would finish with their first winning record in 4 years and Tomlinson was named a first team All Conference selection. Tomlinson's 250 free throws attempted that season are the 4th most in program history, and his 165 made is still 8th. He would average 17.4 ppg and 7 boards to lead the Tigers in both categories. Early in his senior season, the Tigers would pull off a huge victory over Indiana 109-96 as Tomlinson would score 32 for his career high (18 free throws). Tomlinson continued his dominance of ku (4-2 overall against them in regular season games), scoring 23 despite playing with a hip injury in a 3 point Tiger win. Tomlinson would again lead the Tigers in scoring averaging 14.2 ppg for the season. Tomlinson would for the second time earn All Conference honors, and would finish his career 3rd all time at MU with 1,198 points (currently 28th). He attempted more free throws than all but 2 other Tigers, and made more than all but 3. For his career his 8.4 attempts per game is the best in MU history. He was selected by Cleveland in the NBA draft but did not make the roster.

# 37 - Lee Coward

Letterman - 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990

A prototypical point guard, Coward came to MU from Detroit along with high school teammate Nathan Buntin. Coward introduced himself to MU fans in his first matchup with ku, as he buried a 3 point buzzer beater to secure a 63-60 win in Columbia (it was the first season the Big 8 used the 3 point line). Coward would start the last 8 games of the season, 7 of which were victories, and he would be the Tiger’s second leading scorer in that stretch. The Tigers would be the surprise conference champions at 11-3, and use their 1 seed to advance to the conference tournament title game in a matchup with ku. Again the game was close, and again it was the freshman Coward deciding it…burying a shot with 4 seconds left to win the game and the conference tournament. The next season Coward would move into the starting lineup and quarterback the team after an injury sidelined senior Lynn Hardy, and he would respond with over 11 ppg and the 10th highest season in assists per game in program history as MU would climb to as high as #8 in the rankings. Further he set the all time MU single season record which still stands for 3 point accuracy at 52.7%. He would up both his scoring and his assists as a junior (logging the 4th highest season in assists with 164) and led MU to a then record 29 wins and the highest scoring team in program history. His senior season the Tigers would start the year at #5 and remain in the top 10 all season, claiming the #1 ranking on 4 separate weeks. MU was quite simply a juggernaut that destroyed opponents. However in a game against OU, Coward broke his wrist and was forced to the sidelines and the wheels came off. On Feb 24th MU stood at 25-2 and #1 in the nation, on March 16th its season ended at 26-6 in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Coward would finish his career as MU's all time 3 point leader and 2nd all time in assists (currently 5th). Additionally he is 25th all time in scoring with 1,275 points and played on two conference champions and 4 NCAA tournament teams. As a testament to his ability to lead an offense during his 3 year tenure as a starter each of those seasons are the top 3 scoring season in MU history, with the lowest being 86.8 ppg and no other MU team since 1980 has even averaged 82 ppg in a season. All 3 teams avged at least 18 assists per game, and only 2 other times in program history has an MU even averaged 17 assists per game. After graduation, he attended the Piston's Rookie Camp, and then went on to play with the C.B.A. Sioux Falls Skyforce in 1990-1991 as their #1 Draft pick, averaging 15 ppg and would return to campus after his playing days to assist in Quin Snyder's basketball camps.

# 36 - Henry Smith

Letterman - 1969, 1970

A JUCO transfer that drove the rebuilding of the program under Stewart, the 6'7 center helped the Tigers to their first upper division finish in 5 years with 12.6 ppg and a team leading 7.3 boards which earned him an honorable mention all conference selection in his first season at MU. Then as the lone returning starter the next year, Smith erupted with one of the finer seasons in program history. In the season opener the Tigers beat Arkansas thanks to 35 points and 12 rebounds by Smith, and then a 25 point 13 rebound effort toppled reigning conference champ Ohio. MU would race out to a 7-1 record until losing to #1 ranked UCLA on the road. Smith would top 30 twice more and MU would finish in a tie for second and their 17 wins on the season were the most for MU since the 1920 season. In the season's final game, Smith would go for 24 points and 14 rebounds but MU would fall to ku in overtime by 1. For the season Smith would average 22.3 ppg (then 3rd best ever) to lead the Tigers, which is currently the 9th highest individual scoring season in program history as well as leading them in rebounds with 9.4 per game. He was chosen as a first team all conference selection. His career scoring average of 17.4 ppg and his career rebounding avg of 8.4 boards both rank in the top 10 all time (9th in both). He was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 68th pick of the NBA draft.

# 35 - Jim Kennedy

Letterman - 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977

A 6'6 inside player who eventually transitioned to guard during his MU career, Kennedy averaged 4.5 ppg as a freshman on a below .500 Tiger team that gave up over 78 ppg and only had 3 players average more than 6 ppg. His sophomore year would see a drastic improvement though as he nearly tripled his scoring to 11.5 per game and almost 6 boards, while the Tigers returned to postseason play in the short lived NCCIT tournament (MU lost in the opening round to Purdue) on what was at the time the highest scoring MU team ever at 83.5 ppg. Kennedy's junior season was perhaps his finest though. He would set the MU record by making 19 free throws in a game, a mark that is still second all time. Leading MU to the Holiday Tournament title game, Kennedy combined with Willie Smith to score 49 points while MU beat ku for the tourney championship. After destroying MacMurray 106-34, ku came to town to attempt to avenge their defeat but left with a 30 point loss in which Kennedy scored 20+. MU would go on to win their first outright conference title since the 1930's at 12-2, and Kennedy would be the second leading scorer and rebounder at 16.2 and 5.7 respectively while scoring over 500 points for the season. The Tigers would play their first NCAA tournament game since 1944 (at none other than Allen Field Dump) against Washington and future pro 7' James Edwards. With the score tied at 65 and under a minute to play, it was Kennedy who drove inside, fouling out Edwards and making both free throws to secure an MU victory and its first NCAA Tournament win (not counting consolation games). MU would win once more before losing to eventual title game participant Michigan in the Elite Eight, finishing with a school record 26 wins. Kennedy would earn first team all conference honors. MU would begin his senior season with their 5th Holiday Tournament title in 6 years, with a 69-65 victory over ku in the championship game in which Kennedy scored 20. MU would start 8-2 in the conference until an ankle sprain derailed Kennedy's season and MU would fall from 1st place to an eventual tie for 2nd. After losing in the conference tourney title game to KSU, MU would decline an NIT bid and finish the season at 21-8 with no postseason. Kennedy would hobble to over 12 ppg and 5 boards for the year. He finished his career ranked in the top 10 in both scoring and rebounding at MU. His 1,209 points currently ranks 28th in MU history. He was drafted by Detroit with the 102nd pick in the NBA draft and went on to be a radio analyst for MU.

# 34 - Dan Pippen

Letterman - 1944, 1947, 1948

Pippen came to Columbia by way of Waynesville, and at 6'1 manned the center position as a freshman for the Tigers. Pippen would lead MU in scoring at 8.9 ppg and also lead MU to the NCAA tournament, its only appearance until 1976. At only 17 he was too young for the draft, and a deadly fade-away jumper made Pippin a fantastic scorer and spectacular leaping ability made him Missouri's top rebounder. Pippen would earn first team all conference in the Big 6. In an odd development, after being knocked out of the first round of the NIT Utah was also invited to play in the NCAA tournament and faced MU in the opening round. MU would fall by 10 to the eventual national champion Utes, but would defeat Pepperdine in the regional third place game 61-46 for MU's first NCAA tournament victory. Pippin was the Tigers second leading scorer in the game with 12. It would be two seasons before Pippen would return to the Tiger lineup as he then went off to war. Pippen would return to Columbia in the 1946-47 season, the same year a young Sparky Stalcup began at MU as the first non-MU graduate to be head coach since 1920. Pippen would score 17 in a 39-34 victory over ku that featured a shoving and shouting match between Stalcup and notorious whiner Phog Allen. The conference title would come down to the final game, but OU would knock off MU and claim victory while MU finished 2nd. Pippin would again secure first team all conference honors. As a junior Pippen would score 24 in a 48-46 victory over KSU and in the second game of the series Pippen hit a half court shot with 3 seconds left to tie the game…only to see KSU answer with an half court buzzer beater of their own. Pippen opened his senior season right where he left off, leading the Tigers with 10.7 ppg. Until that is the University registrar ruled Pippen ineligible and ended his college career midway through the season. The 802 points he had accumulated was the most ever in program history at that point. After graduation, he went to work for the Caterpillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois, and played for the National Industrial Basketball League team it sponsored. During 4 seasons with the Peoria Cats, Pippin would total 1,518 points scored for second on their all-time career list. 1952 was his finest season. He earned AAU All American recognition that year, and his team won the AAU national championship. As such they were entered into a 4 team playoff for the right to represent the United States at the 1952 Olympic games. The title game of this playoff matched Pippin�s Cats against the NCAA Champion kansas jayhawks, Pippin�s former rival and still coached by Phog Allen. Pippin would score 13 points in his team�s 62-60 victory that allowed him to not only represent the USA but he would be selected as Captain of the Olympic team. At the Olympic games, Pippin would score in double digits in 4 of the team�s 8 games and the US would go on to claim a Gold Medal in a victory over USSR. 13 years late, at the age of 37, he took his own life.


# 33 - Thorton Jenkins

Letterman - 1943, 1946, 1947, 1948

A guard/forward from Advance, Missouri Jenkins career spanned the war years and like many of his teammates was interrupted thusly. His career also bridged the gap between the last George Edwards years and the first under Sparky Stalcup, and he also played some football and baseball at Mizzou. In his first year of eligibility Jenkins would be the second leading scorer in the conference and earn All Conference honors, scoring over 14 ppg in conference play. After two years in the service he would return to Columbia for Edwards last season as the Tiger coach, and Jenkins scored more points in conference play – 66 – than any other Tiger (including 18 in his debut against Kansas State) despite playing in just five games. Stalcup would move Jenkins to the guard position, and in his junior season he would again lead the Tigers in scoring while MU finished in 2nd place. As a senior he would lead the Tigers in scoring making All Conference again as a senior. He then played AAU basketball for the Denver Chevrolets, earning all-American honors in 1950, before returning to Columbia as an assistant on Stalcup's staff. Jenkins went on to a decorated officiating career (1950-71), and worked two NCAA Final Fours - in College Park, Md., in 1966, and Los Angeles, in 1968. He also worked ten national junior college championship games and five NCAA regional tournaments.

#32 - Ricky Paulding

Letterman - 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004

Paulding joined MU as part of one of the better recruiting classes on MU history, and the 6'5 swingman was one of the more explosive athletes to don a Tiger uniform as well as one of the most prolific three point shooters in program history. As a freshman he played a key role by stepping into the starting lineup for an injured Kareem Rush with 9 double digit scoring games, as well as avging 8.5 ppg in MU's two NCAA tournament contests. He would become a 12 ppg scorer as a sophomore, adding the 3 point ball to his arsenal (he had started the season 2-31 as a freshman, but led the team and ranked 6th in the conference at 44.2% as a sophomore). Paulding would really come into his own in the NCAA tournament that season, leading the team at 18.3 ppg as well as avging 5.3 boards. Paulding was named to the All-West Region Team in the Tournament and led MU to an elite eight appearance. As a junior he was a preseason Wooden Award finalist, a season that would see him make second team all conference on the strength of a team leading 17.4 ppg and the 18th highest scoring season in program history at 573. Again saving his best for the postseason, Paulding would avg a ridiculous 27.5 ppg including a 36 point outburst where he outshone future NBA MVP Dwayne Wade. Paulding would score 15 ppg as a senior and again make second team all conference (punctuated by a 31-point effort in the Tigers' double overtime win over No. 6 Oklahoma State), but as a team the Tigers faltered from preseason top 5 to a 16-14 season that saw no NCAA tournament bid. For his career no Tiger played in more NCAA tournament games, and he is the all time postseason point leader with 145. His 9 three pointers made against Marquette is the second highest single game total ever. Paulding is 9th in program history with 1,673 points scored and 5th all time in 3 pointers made with 191. He was drafted in the 2nd round by the Pistons and recently was Finals MVP for his current team in Germany.


# 31 - Bob Reiter

Letterman - 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955

A 6'8” center from Brentwood, Mo Reiter utilized a hook shot which combined with his long arms was very hard to stop. He started at MU in a season where freshman were eligible due to the Korean War and he avged 5.3 ppg for Stalcup's Tigers. Then as a sophomore Reiter would really come into his own, leading the Tigers in scoring at at over 13 ppg and rebounding at 9.0. Highlights included 27 points against 4th ranked KSU as well as pouring in 33 (then the all time single game record) against OU. He would continue to dominate OU, when as a junior he came off the bench due to illness and still recorded 30 points in a 80-78 Tiger loss, but followed that game up with one against Houston in which the Tigers won 96-62 (then the highest point total for MU in a game) with Reiter tying his record set the year before with 33 points. The rematch with OU this time went to MU on the strength of 28 from Reiter, and in scoring 24 against ISU he set the MU single season scoring record with still a game left to play. In the season's final game MU beat nationally ranked ku 76-67 as Reiter outscored B.H. Born 28 to 25. For the year Reiter would finish with 411 points to set the single season record with an avg of 19.6 ppg (no official rebounding stats exist for this season). His senior season began with MU beating 6th ranked Indiana 64-61 in the season's second game, then following that up with a 97-94 shootout win over #4 Iowa in which Reiter scored 24. The Tigers would open the next week ranked #6 in the AP Poll themselves. After winning the league's Holiday Tournament, the Tigers ventured to Lawrence for their last ever appearance in Hoch Auditorium where ku had been winners of 33 straight previous games. MU left with a 76-65 victory thanks to a huge 21 point, 24 rebound performance by Reiter. He would turn in another Herculean performance against KSU with a 27 rebound game, becoming the first Tiger to ever score 1,000 points during the game and the 27 rebounds is still the all time single game record at MU. MU would end up second in conference and never fall out of the top 20, unfortunately in an era when only conference champs had the opportunity for NCAA tournament appearances. Reiter accumulated 300 rebounds on the season (1 of only 7 Tigers to ever reach the mark) and his 14.3 rebounds per game avg for the season has only been topped by one other Tiger. He again led the Tigers in scoring as well with 18 ppg. Reiter finished his career with 1,188 points (at the time by far the all time record) which currently ranks him 28th in program history. Also his career rebounding avg of 11.7 still ranks as the second highest ever at MU. He was selected by Fort Wayne in the NBA draft but did not play.
