COLUMBIA, Mo. — The chant rained down on Norm Stewart Court, too loud for Kobe Brown to ignore. Standing in the Mizzou Arena tunnel, surrounded by family before his senior day ceremony introduction, the Tigers captain chuckled as the chant engulfed the sold-out building.
“One more year! One more year!”
Brown will formally announce his future plans after the season — the four-year starter has one more year of eligibility — but this day was about guiding the Tigers to unseen places. Like he has all season, Brown embraced that charge and finished the job, powering the Tigers to an 82-77 home finale victory over Mississippi to clinch a double-bye in the Southeastern Conference tournament.
