Anderson in Bristol

Mike Anderson, head coach of Mizzou basketball was in Bristol, Conn this week for several interviews with ESPN. One interview was a coaching roundtable that included Travis Ford (Ok St), Scott Drew (Baylor) and Anderson that went over the strength of the Big 12. This looks to be another tough and exciting season in Big 12 play. Obviously with Kansas and Texas ranked 1st and 3rd preseason nationally, but also a bunch of teams bring back solid talent, ie Craig Brackens, Iowa State.
The second interview dealt exclusively with Mizzou Men's Basketball. Anderson comments that even with the loss of Demarre Carroll and Leo Lyons he really likes this year's basketball team; reminding us that it was Ramsey and Stafford who played the majority of the second half in the Elite 8 loss to UConn last year.
The season is just around the corner. I think it is going to be another great season for Mizzou basketball! Both interviews can be seen at the following link:
