One of the most prominent members of the Missouri men's basketball team last season has consistently followed the Tigers from afar this year.
Reed Nikko, not too far removed from wearing the black and gold, now lives in Minnesota after graduating last spring.

The Tribune's Eric Blum recently caught up with the 6-foot-10 Nikko.
