Mizzou Goes 14-0 in the Big 8

[6891man]

It was only fitting that the only Big 12 team to go undefeated in league play, Kansas, did so on Mizzoodle's homecourt. Mizzoodle will never know what it is to be undefeated in Big 12 play or in SEC play. Good luck against Kentucky and Florida and the other teams in that league who will be unfortunate enough to have you as a member of their league next season.

not a Mizzou fan, Boilers fan, I had forgotten they went undefeated in Big Eight play that season (1993-1994) but remember they were a #1 seed in the NCAA's and reached the Elite Eight but fell a game short of the Final Four (same result for my team that season as well): Melvin Booker, Jevon Crudup, Mark Atkins, Paul O'Liney, Chris Heller, Julian Winfield (? might have joined the next season), etc.

What incredible Missouri teams these were!!!

That's my daddy!

Your daddy was a hell of a player. I met him last week in Columbia at homecoming. Very nice man. You should be very proud.

This was a great game, I was only 9 years old at the time, but I'll never forget when the three rimmed out at the buzzer. Just awesome.

2,580 carrer points number one all time at Mizzou and number 3 all-time Big 8. Overated huh? What planet are you from?

[chrisuncleahmad]

When was the last time Nebraska was any good in college hoops?

[marehtseira]

@chrisuncleahmad 1990-1991 season

@chrisuncleahmad

Nebraska was not bad that year. They got revenge against Missouri the next week in the Big 8 Tournament and went on to beat Oklahoma State in the championship. Unfortunately, they got beat in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

[PAELofDI]

BOOK IT!!!! Man I remember that marg from when I lived in columbia, these were proud times in mizzou sports, too bad we got fucked this year in the bowl selection in F-BALL!!!

[ndhunter]

I that game was during my senior year at Nebraska. Still can't believe Piatkowski's shot didn't go in. Huskers still got some revenge by beating Mizzou in the Big 8 Tournament the next week on their way to their only conference tournament championship.

[bacarr]

Boy, Melvin Booker was the greatest Tiger ever.

[Kampy1971]

I was there. Actually had A-section seats that year... What a great game! I don't know how Piatkowski's shot didn't go in... We went home and watched the videotape, slowed it down to frame by frame, and there were a couple frames where at least 3/4 of the ball appeared to be inside/below the rim.... and then it somehow came back out. Seemed to defy physics. Undefeated and 14-0 in the Big 8 that year... wow!

[BA11000]

Aaah, I remember being there in Section D. What a game. As I recall, Mizzou got some pretty generous foul calls (not the one in this clip, something about an inbound play) to make up 4 points in the last minute.

[boston1111]

Melvin Booker grandissimo play.

[ericedholm]

I'll never forget this game. it was my freshman year, and our seats were about 10 feet from that camera angle, so I remember it almost exactly like it is here. I was sure that thing went in. In fact, it's so not like Mizzou for it to not go down. What an amazing season and team.

[jonespeek]

Too bad none of you have actually played basketball for a Div1 team, you can't critique if you can't do it yourself.

[kclegand64]

That's ok we don't expect mu fan's to be able to spell big words like miss.

[nickeleye9]

Like the word "legend"?

[mizzou1307]

My favorite part of this clip is seeing Piatkowski mill that 3 pointer.

[mizzou1307]

I meant to type miss, obviously. Pardon the typo.
