COLUMBIA, Mo. • Jeff Warren wasn’t the biggest star on Norm Stewart’s Missouri basketball teams in the early 1990s, but he was a crucial piece to a program that won 86 games during his four-year career.
“The Antlers had a nickname for Jeff,” former MU teammate John Burns recalled Friday. “They called him ‘War Horse.’ Because that’s what he was. He wouldn’t quit as a player.”
Warren wasn’t about to quit last July when he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lymphoma.
