As a player, Derrick Chievous left his mark all over Missouri’s record books, finishing his career as the Tigers’ career leading scorer, a feat that still stands.
Now his name will hang from Mizzou Arena’s rafters, too.
Missouri confirmed to The Star that it will retire Chievous’ No. 3 jersey during the Tigers’ Feb. 19 game against Kentucky. He will become the seventh Tiger to have his number retired, joining his former coach Norm Stewart (No. 22) and former teammate Doug Smith (No. 34) among others. The Tigers also plan to retire John Brown’s number at a later date this season, according to PowerMizzou.
