Cuonzo Martin is expected to return to Missouri State as its head men's basketball coach. ESPN reported Monday that the school and Martin were negotiating a deal that would put him back on the Bears' bench.
A Purdue legacy will end his time at Purdue this Sunday. When we think about sports, we can almost always think about father and sons. Ken Griffey Jr and Sr, Dale Earnhardt Jr and Sr, Dell, Steph, and Seth Curry, Archie, Peyton, Eli, and now Arch Manning.
Far and away the most athletic player on the Missouri roster this past season, what might the future hold for Aidan Shaw? Much was made over the course of a few years about getting Aidan Shaw on campus.
The former top-30 prospect arrives in Columbia — at long last — toting a nice shooting stroke and defensive potential. With the right system, he could be a critical addition for the Tigers.
Maybe you can always come back home. The fall of 2019 held a lot of promise for the Mizzou Basketball program. Cuonzo Martin and his squad were coming off a disappointing injury-plagued season.
Gotta stay limber. Saturday presented a bit of a strange sliding doors moment for Mizzou Basketball. Going to Athens to face Georgia, even one year ago, would’ve been a prime-time snoozer in the SEC.
Happy New Year, everyone! If there is any post that I’ve been consistent about as an annual post it might be this one. I really like this process because, as we’ve experienced over the years, one individual season doesn’t equate to overall program success.
Mizzou Links for Dec. 12, 2022. Debrief, move on So that was a disappointing weekend, yeah? You could read a lot of different stuff about why or how Missouri got blown off its home court by the beakers on Saturday, but Sam put it pretty succinctly in his Sunday morning column.
The Tigers have already shipped out more than 100 offers and hosted seven top-150 prospects in the 2024 class. Maybe we should have chipped in and bought Jalen Reese a commemorative plaque.
New coach. New staff. New roster. New marketing. How do we feel about all the change in Mizzou Hoops? This Mizzou Hoops offseason has felt longer than most.
It’s typical for first-year coaches to keep their ambitions modest, especially if they’re turning over a struggling roster. Mizzou’s Dennis Gates appears to be no different — hoping the Tigers’ docket creates enough continuity to be a factor in March.
As Texas and Oklahoma are set to join the league, how will Dennis Gates stack up against a deeper league? There’s been a lot of words written about Mizzou Hoops recruiting over the years.
Missouri Tigers men's basketball has been on a major upswing since the offseason hire of coach Dennis Gates after a 12-21 season under Cuonzo Martin in 2021. And on Tuesday, Gates and Co.
Mizzou News for Friday, July 8 WE HAVE ANOTHER GAME ON THE SCHEDULE! A day after we learn that Missouri will open its season against Southern Indiana on November 7, Jon Rothstein reported that Mizzou will face Central Florida in the 2022 Orange Bowl Classic in Miami on December 17.
The new staff has been aggressive in sending out offers and making contact with the next generation of players. After 5 years of covering and watching Cuonzo Martin and his more reserved approach to recruiting, the last few weeks and even months watching Dennis Gates has left us all shellshocked.
Mizzou’s new coach completed his roster rebuild by landing a star in Isiaih Mosley. How much should we expect from his first go round? If there’s one thing Mizzou Hoops has been able to nail down over the past decade, it’s the first year of a new coach’s tenure.
What seemed like an impossible dream a few days ago might be happening... It was just last weekend where I posted about one of Cuonzo Martin’s biggest mistake might have been not signing Isiaih Mosley.
Cuonzo Martin’s time as Missouri Basketball Coach will always be viewed through a lens of what could’ve been with just a few different bounces of the ball.

3-star Guard Christian Jones was a signee under the previous coaching staff. For all of two days the math didn’t add up. Now it does. Cuonzo Martin and his staff signed two players in the fall.
Recruiting is still complicated. Recruiting matters. I know we’re breaking serious ground here. But last summer I dove into an attempt to explain why Mizzou Basketball is more complicated, Basically Cuonzo Martin didn’t get it done, specifically in the last season.
Maybe the transfer portal wasn’t the biggest reason both men were fired, but it sure helped bury both of their programs.
Martin's firing comes a day after the Tigers lost to LSU in the SEC Tournament to end their season at 12-21.
