Though upset by Iowa State in the Big Eight tournament quarterfinals, the Tigers were awarded the No.8 seed in the West region of the NCAA tournament. After defeating 9th-seeded Indiana in the opening round,^[1] this Missouri team will be remembered for almost knocking off No.1 overall seed, and eventual National champion, UCLA were it not for a Tyus Edney coast-to-coast layup that dropped through at the buzzer.^[2] Missouri finished with an overall record of 20–9 (8–6 Big Eight).
