Kaitlyn Bailey stays warm on Sunday afternoon while she waits for her favorite basketball team to return from the NCAA tournament, where the Tigers finished in the Elite 8.
After stepping off the team bus, Zaire Taylor enters a tunnel of Mizzou fans on the south side of Mizzou Arena.
J.T. Tiller greets the crowd of approximately 200 people with high-fives, handshakes and autographs.
Coach Mike Anderson thanks the fans for their support. Although he didn’t speak, Steve Moore stood beside Anderson and several of his teammates who also thanked the fans.
Freshman Kim English returns an autographed poster after promising to bring home a national title next year.
Thank you Coach Anderson and team for representing the Mizzou nation so well! As a Missouri native and a Mizzou alumnus, I was so proud to see your success. It was even sweeter as I am a UAB employee! Glad you’re stayin’ in Columbia and I’m so very hopeful for the future of Mizzou Basketball!!!!!!
Go Tigers!

It was great to see my team play well all season and to show the nation what Mizzou Tigers are all about. I live in Virginia now but my heart will always be tied to Missouri University.
Coach, you and the boys made March Madness exciting and gave the fans bragging rights for the rest of this year.
Thanks! Terri
