In 1994, No. 12 Mizzou knocked off No. 4 Kansas on Feb. 20, launching the Tigers into the AP top 10. That season would go down as arguably the best in program history.
Almost exactly 31 years later, Mizzou once again toppled No. 4; this time around, it was Alabama who took the defeat. They fell 110-98 on “Throwback Night” at Mizzou Arena, which partied like it was 1994 all night long as their beloved men in black and gold cemented themselves amongst college basketball’s elite.
“Credit to our crowd. It was electric inside of Mizzou Arena tonight,” head coach Dennis Gates said.
