Hey...since you would be in the Mo. Valley Conference, why play Wichita St. when you can play the conf champs and Zo's former school, Missouri State Univ.

With that glare and his intensity he does. MSU's best player, Kyle Weems had redshirted the year before Zo arrived and was already being called one of the greatest players that MSU has had, even before suiting up. Weems very first practice/workout with the new coach was an eye-opener for him...

MSU's starting five: Nafis Ricks, Sr. - JUCO. Jermaine Mallett, Sr. JUCO. Will Creekmore, Sr. (National Academic All-American), three year transfer from Boston University. He played at MSU his sophomore year at mid semester. Now applying to get a 5th year. Adam Leonard, Sr. - Transfer from E...

Ask around, check contacts, and you will find that the word amongst administrators, media, and other coaches....Marshall is weird, quirky, and can be a real pr*ck. Yeah, they won the Not Invited Tournament, but how did they do both times they faced Zo's team, who won the long grind that is the...

He inherited a practically empty cupboard of talent when he came to MSU and went from an 11 win first season to a 24 win one and then 26 this past season. The Missouri Valley conference has been a very good mid-major conference and been going through a down spell the last couple of years...

Not accustomed to a fifty reporter press conference? The man played at Purdue side by side with his roomate, Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson and ultimately a coach there for 9 years. He has been in rooms with many reporters. Regarding the two kids you are after, I have no idea what is going on...

Thanks EGoat. Just hired Paul Lusk, Associate Head Coach from Purdue (inherited that position when we hired Zo from Purdue) and it seems to be a great hire. Is there an SEC Network? My daughter will be a student at Arkansas this fall and we look forward to an opportunity to see some exciting...

Otto Porter's cousin, Michael, was a fine ballplayer that redshirted his freshman year at MSU due to a leg injury and emergency appendectomy the summer before the season. Then, just at the end of the season of his redshirt year, he had a one-car accident and required hip surgery. He ended up...

Really not being a jerk here.....but due to our position and rivalry with Missouri University (MU; Mizzou), please refer to Missouri State University as MSU, or MoState. We do not use "Z's" in our abbreviations and there is not one shirt in a bookstore that says anything other than MSU, MoState...

I am guessing the top majority award is the Caucasian coach that wins the AP Coach of the Year Award.

Hello from MSU. If I am not mistaken, Zo's name is from the doctor that delivered him. I think it was an Italian physician and Cuonzo was his last name. Oh yeah, when he first came here, there were threads seeking to find creative ways to apply his name to things. Recently, a t-shirt was...
