With tournament title, Mizzou has last word for Big 12
This is the image thatll be burned into Kansas City history: Missouri players, hugging and dancing on the hardwood, running off with the last Big 12 tournament trophy theyll play for.
Guard Kim English smiled and talked into a video camera. Coach Frank Haith removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Athletic director Mike Alden grinned and clapped inside a circle of players.You heard this crowd today: M-I-Z Z-O-U, going nuts, all of this black and gold, 18,000 people here, Alden said as streamers fell toward the floor. Certainly right in Kansas City, Missouri. We keep in mind, this is Kansas City, Missouri.But no image will resonate longer than this one: interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas, himself a critic of the Tigers move to the SEC, smiling and handing over a large trophy to Haith. Hero or villain, Mizzou left the Sprint Center and the conference as the tournament champion.- Baylor looks impressive, pounds Texas A&M in womens final
