Hochman: On Mizzou's Jordan Barnett, his arrest and the concept of caring

My favorite thing about this Mizzou team is how much this Mizzou team means to this Mizzou team.

The players are proud. They turned an embarrassing program into a winner. Eight wins to 20 wins. And the player that has embodied this pride most has been St. Louisan Jordan Barnett, the Tiger senior, the team's No. 2 scorer.

Which makes Saturday's news – arrested on suspicion of DWI and failing to drive within a single lane -- just maddening.

Of all players. Barnett. The senior about to play in his first NCAA Tournament. Arrested.
