Tigers report: Notes, quotes

FINAL RECORD
16-16, 6-10 in Big 12, 10th place.

WHAT WENT RIGHT
For a team that likes to dictate a fast pace, Missouri handled the ball well. It averaged only 13 turnovers, the lowest mark in the program's history, and led the Big 12 with a turnover margin of plus-3.97. The Tigers fashioned those averages despite the midseason dismissal of G Stefhon Hannah. Inside, the production of F Leo Lyons late in the season was a pleasant surprise.

WHAT WENT WRONG
In two seasons under coach Mike Anderson, the Tigers have yet to truly threaten opponents with their defense. They like to press, but when opponents slip out of traps, they often produce easy baskets. The Tigers ranked 11th in the conference in scoring defense. F DeMarre Carroll, a transfer from Vanderbilt, was named newcomer of the year, yet was too inconsistent in conference play.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"It is going to take some recruiting classes, no question about it. I inherited a team. One thing about me, I never complain about what I don't have. I just work with what I got." -- Missouri coach Mike Anderson.

Recruiting

I feel next year we can be just as good as we were this year. We already have a top 100 recruit in Michael Dixon(point gaurd), and a skilled big man in Keith Dewitt. We are also pursuing a 6'10" center from New York that goes by the name of Jarrid Famous. He is suspected to make his decision in the next 10 days, and is leaning heavily toward Mizzou. W ...(more)
