I’m really not looking forward to this.
Frankly, watching Missouri basketball isn’t something I look forward to any more. In 2017, Missouri hired Cuonzo Martin and he turned an 8 win team into an NCAA tournament team with mostly minimal turnover. It was just fun to be excited about basketball again. You knew they were likely to take a step back the following year, but it felt even over those two seasons he was establishing a floor for what Missouri basketball was going to be. Through some hard luck, they sunk in 2019 an again in 2020. But they competed, and won more games than most expected, then got back to the NCAA Tournament last year.
