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 all time MU record of 74.7% conference 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.

               Players can always improve - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/16 11:01:46
          Tilmon's not intelligent. - RamblinScramblin MU - 5/15 12:02:23

                    We won 29 games and went to the Sweet 16 that year - FIJItiger MU - 5/15 11:35:02
                         If that roster played today, the rotation would change - alwaysright MU - 5/15 11:47:20
                              Playing that style they won't go 29-8 like they did - FIJItiger MU - 5/15 11:51:12
                                   In today’s game, they simply would not be able to - alwaysright MU - 5/15 11:55:23
                                        There are no rule changes that prevent it - FIJItiger MU - 5/15 11:58:51
                                             Teams today would go 3-4 guards against our starting - alwaysright MU - 5/15 12:09:24
                                                  Your premise is that the quality of college basketball was - alwaysright MU - 5/15 13:16:09

                                                                           I'm not the biggest Gary Leonard fan, but he - FIJItiger MU - 5/15 14:27:33
                                                                                copule of points here - alwaysright MU - 5/15 15:55:13

                                                                                                    He must have taken most of his shots for the season - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/15 14:11:35
                                                                                                         But he could have taken more is the point - FIJItiger MU - 5/15 14:23:50
                                                                                                              What was OU’s defensive strategy hat game? - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/15 14:36:47
