One of my favorite retrospectives to write is this one. Mostly because breaking a retrospective off right in the middle of the season and encompassing the entire offseason is weird. It’s a weird way to process any sport, but college basketball has such a long offseason and a short season, and an even shorter period of capturing the media’s attention that looking at the whole part when people aren’t paying attention is when the sausage gets made.
Obviously I’m talking about the public writ-large and not the college basketball junkies like me and anyone reading this post. If you’re reading this chances are college basketball and more specificallly Mizzou basketball occupies a healthy segment of your news consumption all year around.
