POSTCARDS FROM COLUMBIA
The Thanksgiving holiday has a slightly different feel to it this year, you might say, for the Missouri Tigers. The 2-1 Tigers will spend their week of Thanksgiving break in Columbia, Mo., getting ready for Sundays game vs. Southwest Texas State. That game will begin a three-games-in-seven-day stretch for MU. The past two seasons, the Tigers have at their Turkey and dressing abroad. MU played in last years Maui Invitational over Thanksgiving, and in 1996, the Tigers celebrated the holiday in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where they were involved in the San Juan Shootout. While the weather isnt as nice in Columbia, surely the turkey tastes better. Plus, you dont have to wake up at 7:00 in the morning to see John Madden make a pig out of himself.

MU-SOUTHWEST TEXAS SERIES
Missouri and Southwest Texas have met two previous times, with MU holding a 2-0 edge in the brief series history. Both games have been played in the Hearnes Center, and the Tigers have won the two matchups by an average margin of 25 points.

ABOUT SOUTHWEST TEXAS STATE
Southwest Texas State brings a perfect 2-0 record with it to Columbia, where theyll be looking for their first-ever win against Mizzou. The Bobcats are led by senior guard Wesley Williams, who is averaging 21.5 points per game. Williams scored 26 points Tuesday night in the win at Baylor. The teams leading rebounder is 6-11 senior center Jeff Roberts, who is pulling down 12.5 boards per contest. The Bobcats return three starters from last years squad which went 17-11and tied for 2nd in the Southland Conference.

BRAGGIN RIGHTS
The Mizzou-Southwest Texas game doesnt exactly compare to the MU-Illinois Braggin Rights series in terms of rivalry, but there will be two bystanders with a huge interest in the outcome. MU Director of Athletics Michael Alden and Associate AD for External Relations Mario Moccia both came to MU from Southwest Texas. Alden was AD at Southwest Texas for two years before taking over at MU in August. Moccia was recently hired away from Southwest Texas by Alden, and will begin his duties at MU in December.

MU'S LAST TIME OUT:

MU 63, AUSTIN PEAY 53
Nov. 23, 1998 -- Columbia, Mo.
Albert White had 15 of his 19 points in the second half - including all seven of Missouri's points in a decisive run in the last five minutes - as the Tigers defeated Austin Peay 63-53 Monday. Johnnie Parker and Clarence Gilbert both had career highs with 12 points apiece, and Brian Grawer led all Tigers with a career-best 11 rebounds. Austin Peay was within 48-47 with five minutes left when Missouri's John Woods hit a 3-pointer for a 51-47 Tiger lead. White then led a 7-4 run as the Tigers (2-1) went up 58-51 with 1:20 remaining. Austin Peay (1-2) fell behind by as many as 18 points in the first half as the Governors missed 19 of their first 20 field goal attempts. Missouri led 22-4 with 6:45 left in the half. But the Governors crawled back into the game in the second half, trailing just 34-29 with 14:45 to play when Jerome Jackson followed a missed free throw with a slam dunk. Missouri is now 24-0 against Ohio Valley Conference teams, including 7-0 against Austin Peay.

MU HEAD COACH NORM STEWART
One of college basketballs most successful coaches and colorful characters is Missouris Favorite Son, Norm Stewart. Stewart, voted by the Associated Press and the Kansas City Star as the all-time Big Eight Conference coach, is the third winningest active coach and eighth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I annals. The 1998-99 campaign is Stewarts 32nd at the helm of the Tigers, and his 38th overall. With every win, he further solidifies himself as one of the most successful mentors ever.

At MU, he has a record of 616-325, while overall hes 713-367. During the Tigers 1997-98 season, he recorded both his 600th win at Missouri and his 700th career victory. He began the 98-99 season as the third winningest active coach in Division I (behind Mount St. Marys James Phelan and Indianas Bob Knight) with 711 career victories. His current win total of 712 is also good for eighth all-time. Stewart is one of 19 coaches in NCAA history to win 600 games, and one of just 17 whove won 500 or more games at one Division I school. Three years ago, he became just the 10th coach in NCAA history to coach in 1,000 games, and passed legendary Kansas coach Phog Allen on the longevity list. Stewart has now coached in 1,080 games to rank 5th in NCAA history.

He's been involved as a player, assistant or head coach with 1,101 of the 2,125 games that have been played in Missouri basketball history meaning that he has had a role in more than 50 percent of Mizzous basketball history. The 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons have to rank as two of the most gratifying campaigns in Stewarts long tenure. First, the 1993-94 Tigers went undefeated through the Big Eight Conference, notching Stewarts eighth conference championship, then went on to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament while posting a 28-4 record. Appropriately, Stewart earned national coach-of-the-year honors from six different organizations, including both the Associated Press and United Press International.

STEWART NAMED MISSOURI CITIZEN OF THE YEAR BY MARCH OF DIMES
Missouri head coach Norm Stewart, who has been so instrumental in fundraising efforts both statewide and nationwide to fight cancer, has been named the 1998 Missouri Citizen of the Year by the March of Dimes. Stewart, who is the third winningest active coach and the eighth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I history, was honored at a black tie affair on Thurs., Nov. 12 at the Reynolds Alumni Center on the MU campus. NBC broadcaster, and long-time friend Bob Costas was the keynote speaker at the affair. I consider it a distinct honor to represent this group, Stewart said. I hope my visibility might create awareness for such a great cause. Stewart will act as a figurehead for the March of Dimes cause, which is to help prevent birth defects and infant mortality.

TIGER DEFENSE LEADING THE WAY
In MUs first three games, the Tiger defense has been solid, as opponents are shooting just 36.6 percent from the floor. Mizzou held Jackson State to 28.6 percent in MUs season opener. Southwest Missouri State managed a 47.9 success rate in their upset win over the Tigers, but MU bounced back to hold Austin Peay to 35.0 percent from the floor. In the Austin Peay game, the Governors missed 19 of their first 20 shots, and MU jumped out to a 22-4 lead.

HES WHITE HOT
Junior forward ALBERT WHITE has gotten off to a fast start this season, showing in the early going that hes completely healthy after off-season surgery to clean up bone chips in both his ankles -- injuries which nagged him all of last season. White is coming off his second straight double-double of the young season, as he scored 19 points and added 10 rebounds vs. Austin Peay. That followed an 18 point and 11 rebound game against Southwest Missouri State. In the game, White was held to four points in the first half, but took over later in the second stanza, scoring 14 points, including one stretch where he scored eight straight points for MU. Hes averaging 19.7 points and 10.0 rebounds entering the Southwest Texas game, and is shooting 51.1 percent from the floor (24-of-47). Going back to last season, hes scored in double figures in six straight games. In MUs season opener vs. Jackson State, White scored a game-high 22 points (just one off his career high), and also added a game-high nine rebounds. He added three assists, one block and one steal in the process. He was 9-of-17 on the night, including 2-of-3 from three-point range. The former McDonalds and Parade first-team all-American averaged 10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game last year for the Tigers, despite being hampered by his pair of gimpy ankles.

PARKER STEPPING IT UP
Sophomore forward JOHNNIE PARKER is playing the best ball of his young Tiger career. The St. Louis, Mo., native enters the Southwest Texas game as MUs second-leading scorer, at 9.3 points per game, and is tied for second in rebounding, with a 5.7 per-game average. Parker is coming off a career-high 12 point game vs. Austin Peay. He hit 5-of-9 field goals on the night, and added 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. His previous career high in points was 10, which he netted twice last year as a freshman. Parker has started all three games thus far (after starting one last season), and is currently third on the squad in minutes played, with an average of 28.7 per game.

GRAWER THE WINDEX KING
Sophomore guard BRIAN GRAWER, who stands just six feet tall, led MU with 11 rebounds in the Tigers last outing, vs. Austin Peay. Grawer, who is a big fan of professional wrestling, didnt exactly get his rebounds by throwing bodies around. He grabbed several long rebounds from missed three-pointers, but his hustle certainly played a big role in the accomplishment. Its the first time he says he can ever remember leading a team in rebounds. His previous career high was seven. Grawer was one of the Big 12s top three-point shooters last season (hitting at a 45.6 percent rate), and hes picking up right where he left off last season. Grawer tied a career-high with 16 points in MUs game vs. Southwest Missouri State, and hit 4-of-9 three pointers in the process. He enters the Southwest Texas game with a 50.0 percent success rate from three-point range (6-of-12). The St. Louis native also has a team-best nine steals. Grawer scored eight points in MUs season opener vs. Jackson State, as he connected on all three field goal attempts, including 2-of-2 from three-point range. Grawer also netted a career-high six steals in the game, and added three rebounds and three assists, with no turnovers in 25 minutes of play. Grawers three-point percentage of 45.6 last season was the fifth-best single-season mark in MU history.

FREE THROWS AREN'T DROPPING
Traditionally a strong foul-shooting team under Norm Stewart, the current group of Tigers are struggling from the charity stripe thus far. Through three games, MU is hitting just 53.7 percent of its free throws. Last year, the Tigers connected at a 70.0 percent rate, and two years ago, MU shot a school-record 75.8 percent. MU made just 13-of-24 foul shots vs. Austin Peay, and connected on only 11-of-16 (.611) vs. Southwest Missouri. Free throws certainly played a key role in SMSUs win over the Tigers, as the Bears were successful on 21-of-26 free throws on the night (.808). Johnnie Parker is currently leading MU from the foul line, making good on 5-of-7 attempts (.714).

DOOLING LEAVES EM DROOLING
Freshman guard KEYON DOOLING came to Missouri as one of the most highly-touted recruits in a long time. And judging from his first few appearances as a Tiger, all of those accolades were right on the mark. Dooling has come off the bench in MUs three games, and has averaged 8.3 points and 5.3 assists per game. Playing with a strained right hip muscle, Dooling was held scoreless the last time out vs. Austin Peay, but he still contributed a team-best six assists on the night. He played 32 minutes vs. Southwest Missouri State, despite being in obvious pain from a strained right hip muscle, an injury he suffered two days before in practice. Against the Bears, Dooling sparked MU to a comeback after the Tigers had fallen behind, 11-2 in the early going. He had four steals on the night, including one in which he scored on a reverse dunk. Dooling also had another dunk on a pretty alley-oop play, with the pass coming from Brian Grawer.

A third-team Parade All-American last year out of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., lived up to his billing as one of the top 20 recruits in the nation, as he tallied 12 points and added a game-high six assists in 27 minutes of play in MUs season-opener vs. Jackson State. He also threw in three rebounds, three steals and a team-high two blocked shots just for good measure. Dooling hit 3-of-6 shots from the floor, including his first career three pointer, and clearly sparked MUs intensity on the defensive end. His ability to penetrate and create on the offensive end also played a big role in MUs success. Dooling was tabbed the preseason Big 12 Conference Freshman of the Year by both the league coaches and media. If he would go on to win the award, he would be the first Tiger since Kelly Thames won the Big Eight equivalent in 1994.

GILBERT NETS CAREER NIGHT
With childhood friend Keyon Dooling off his game the other night, fellow freshman guard CLARENCE GILBERT picked up his teammate, by scoring a career-high 12 points. Gilbert came off the bench to provide the Tigers a nice spark offensively. Known as a long-range marskman, the Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., native showed why hes earned that reputation. He connected on 4-of-6 shots in the game, including 3-of-5 from three-point range. He also notched a rebound and a steal in the game. Prior to the Austin Peay game, Gilbert had scored just two points in limited action in the Tigers two games.

WOODS LOOKS TO MESS WITH TEXAS, AGAIN
While senior guard JOHN WOODS is a native of the state of Texas (McKinney), he apparently doesnt have any problem with messing with teams from his homestate. In five games against Texas schools last season, Woods averaged 16.4 points per game. An offensive performance similar to those numbers would be a welcome sign for Woods, who has struggled to find his mark offensively in the early going. Through MUs first three games, Woods is averaging 4.3 points a game, and is shooting just 22.7 percent from the floor. That comes after averaging 18.5 points per game in MUs two exhibition contests, and after scoring at an 11.4 per-game clip last year as a junior for the Tigers. Woods enters the Southwest Texas game with only two of his trademark three-point field goals (hes 2-of-9). He led the Tigers last year in that category, with 66 treys, and set the MU single-game record when he nailed 8 three pointers against Alabama-Birmingham, scoring a career-high 29 points in the process. Heres a look at how Woods fared last season against Texas schools:

MU-INDIANA AGREE TO SERIES
Two of the Midwests traditional college basketball powers will soon become rivals, as the University of Missouri and Indiana University have agreed to a four-year contract in mens basketball, as announced today by MU Director of Athletics Michael Alden. The contract calls for one game to be played in each of the next four seasons, beginning with a Dec. 7, 1999 tilt in Columbia, Mo., followed by a Dec. 17, 2000 date, in Bloomington, Ind. In the 2001-02 season, the teams will meet in the state of Missouri, with a date and site to be determined. A similar meeting is set for the 2002-03 season, in the state of Indiana, with a date and site to be determined. The future series will feature two of the top eight all-time winningest coaches in NCAA Division I history, in MU Head Coach Norm Stewart and Indiana Head Coach Bobby Knight. Knight entered the 1998-99 season seventh on the all-time list, with 719 career wins, while Stewart was close behind, with 711 career victories entering the year. Knight and Stewart currently rank 2-3 among winningest active coaches, as well, behind only James Phelan of St. Marys, who entered the season with 785 wins.

Indiana and Missouri have met 14 previous times, with the Hoosiers holding a slim 8-6 advantage in the series history. The two teams were once regular foes, as they met 12 times from 1954 through 1969. The last meeting between the two came during the 1995 NCAA Tournament, when Missouri opened tournament play with a 65-60 win, in Boise, Idaho.

TIGERS PICKED THIRD IN BIG 12 BY LEAGUE MENTORS
Hopes are high in Columbia, Mo., as the season is underway for the 1998-99 basketball Tigers. And, according to Big 12 Conference coaches, the hopes raised by Tiger fans are justified, as the Big 12 Coaches pre-season poll picked MU third in the league, behind only Oklahoma State (#1) and Kansas (#2). Missouri finished an even 8-8 in league play last year (17-15 overall), and tied for 5th in the standings.

MUs Big 12 mark included an odd, if not symmetrical, 8-0 record at home and 0-8 on the road. No Tiger individuals received enough votes to garner mention on the coaches all-Big 12 preseason team, but junior forward Albert White is listed among the honorable mention. Tiger freshman Keyon Dooling received enough votes to be tabbed the leagues Preseason Freshman-of-the-Year. The 6-foot-3 Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., native was a third-team Parade All-American last year, after averaging 22 points, six rebounds, six assists and five steals a game for Dillard High School. Dooling is the third Tiger in as many years to receive preseason individual honors from league coaches.

In 1996, Tyron Lee was voted league Preseason Newcomer-of-the-Year, and in 1997, Albert White was tagged with the same label. The recently-released Big 12 Media Poll listed the Tigers finishing fourth in the league, behind OSU, KU and Oklahoma. The media poll concurred with the coaches assessment that Keyon Dooling is the pre-season freshman-of-the-year. Albert White also recieved votes for the all-league first team.

WE MAY BE SMALL, BUT WE'RE SLOW
Well, that old adage might be only half true for Missouri this season. The 1998-99 version of the Missouri Tigers isnt exactly mammoth in size, but MU should prove to be a rather quick, explosive team that can play the full 92 feet of the court. Despite having only two players on the roster over 6-foot-7 inches in height (Monte Hardge and Pat Schumacher, both 6-feet-11), the Tigers have tested out as one of the strongest in team history. When the Tigers concluded their pre-season strength testing, MU strength and conditioning coach Bob Jones labeled the Tigers one of the best hes seen. This is one of the most hard-working teams Ive been around, said Jones, who is in his 10th year at MU. They compare favorably to the 94 team (which went undefeated in Big Eight play) in terms of strength and work ethic. Its a good group, he said.

Sophomore guard Brian Grawer was one of the leaders in testing, as he proved to be the strongest Tiger pound-for-pound. The St. Louis native, who weighs just 169 pounds, bench pressed 280, up from 225 a year ago. He also increased his vertical jump by three inches, to 30 inches, and led MU in all five conditioning tests. Other impressive numbers included senior guard John Woods, who set a team record with 620 pounds lifted in the squat lift, breaking the old mark of 605 pounds set last year by Dibi Ray. Freshman guard Clarence Gilbert squatted 500 pounds, which is a team freshman record. Fellow freshman Keyon Dooling has the teams biggest vertical leap, at 33.5 inches. Standing just 6-foot-3, he can reach an impressive 11-foot-6 with a one-step jump. The teams body fat percentage is down to 7.3 percent, the lowest since the figure has been recorded beginning in 1990. Sophomores Johnnie Parker and Brian Grawer lead the way, with identical figures of just 4.2 percent.

TIGERS LAND PAIR OF BIG MEN
A pair of teammates from Meridian Community College in Meridian, Miss. has signed national-letters-of-intent to attend the University of Missouri, MU Head Coach Norm Stewart">Norm Stewart announced today. TAJUDEEN (TODDGE-ew-dean) SOYOYE, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound power forward, will lend his considerable talents to the Tiger program beginning next year. Soyoye (pronounced SOY-oy-aay) was named a fifth-team pre-season junior college all-American by Street & Smith this year, after averaging 13 points and 10 rebounds per game during the 1997-98 season. He helped lead MCC to a school-best 22-8 record last season, and has the Eagles currently ranked 5th in the nation among junior college teams, according to College Basketball. Soyoye is a native of Lagos, Nigeria, and is a Phi Beta Kappa student. His best performance last year was a 26-point, 18-rebound game against Delgado Community College. Joining Soyoye in a Tiger uniform next year will be fellow big man NYAH (n-EYE-uh) JONES, a 6-foot-11, 230-pound center. Jones is a native of Montreal, Ontario, and attended Duquesne University out of high school, after prepping at Central Hower High School, in Akron, Ohio. He redshirted at Duquesne during the 1996-97 season, and played in 16 games in 1997-98, before breaking his foot. Prior to the injury, he averaged 2.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, and had career-highs of 14 points and six rebounds in his first game as a collegian, against Southwest Missouri State. Jones then transferred to Meridian, where he is currently a sophomore in eligibility. Meridian Community College is the same school that has produced former UNLV and NBA star Larry Johnson, as well as former Arkansas and NBA star Alvin Robertson. The head coach at Meridian is Dennis Helms. We feel these are two quality people who will come in and help us be a bigger, stronger team, said MU Head Coach Norm Stewart. One area we know well need help in is size, and both Tajudeen and Nyah will certainly help there, he said. They should be nice additions to our ballclub. The early signing period ran from Nov. 11-18. The late signing period runs from April 7, 1999 through May 15, 1999.
