I thought Mizzou had a really good basketball history.

Tell me about it. Hall of Fame coach Norm Stewart just couldn't find success in the tourney. Over his 32 years as MU coach he posted a respectable 634-333 record providing plenty of entertaining regular-season basketball which is likely why people felt MU had a decent BB program. Come tourney time though (the standard by which BB teams are judged) his teams were AWOL.

Still, he was a crotchety old-school hard-arse coach, and I very much enjoyed the Stewart era. I'm sure you don't give two shits about Norm or MU basketball in general, but ESPN did an interesting documentary about his career in 2016 titled, appropriately enough, "Norm"
