SEC Basketball: What happened to the Missouri Tigers?

That was five years ago.

While losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament is nothing to be nostalgic about, the Tigers did go 30-5 that season and were sixth in the nation, averaging 80.6 points/game.

The next two years saw the Tigers go 46-23 with one tournament appearance before Frank Haith skipped town and became the head coach at Tulsa.

In three years in Columbia, Haith went 76-28, but he was really just riding the coat-tails of what Mike Anderson built at Missouri.

In Anderson’s five years at Missouri, the Tigers went 111-57, including a a 31-7 season in 2008-09 when they made an Elite 8 appearance.
