'Winning the game': Big-picture perspective guides Mizzou's Cuonzo Martin

Cuonzo Martin's office is located in a corner of Mizzou Arena where windows provide a landscape view of Faurot Field and the Hearnes Center.

The fourth-year head coach of Missouri men's basketball spends plenty of time there. Martin will hold meetings with assistant coaches and players, work on recruiting, take part in interviews — all while sipping his coffee du jour.

The number of hours he spends in the concourse-level office varies depending on the time of year. As the calendar turns to March, he won't be in there much.

The Tigers are closing in on their second NCAA Tournament berth of his tenure.
