Do you got anything in the pipeline for those of us bandwagoners who only really started paying attention when Mizzou got that third seed in the tournament?  I'm ashamed to admit that I missed most of last season, but I'm really excited for this one.  However, I don't know most of the personalities or the big players or what our strengths are, aside from the "fastest 40 minutes in basketball" thing.  Can ya help a newbie out?
