COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou Men's Basketball head coach Kim Anderson said it best when describing his 2015-16 squad at the #SECTipOff16 event in Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday, Oct. 21.
"This year's team is young, competitive, and has done a good job so far in practice," said Anderson. "I think they're an evolving team."
In the second season of the Anderson Era, another influx of young talent joins the program's returning sophomores and upperclassmen. Senior forward Ryan Rosburg (Chesterfield, Mo.) and sophomore forward Jakeenan Gant (Springfield, Ga.) joined Anderson in Charlotte to represent that returning group of Tigers.
