The date was Friday, November 14, 2014. Seven years ago yesterday. The day that Mizzou Basketball went black.

Seven years later and Mizzou, thankfully, is far removed from that era, if not some of the mistakes that plague it. UMKC, on the other hand? Well, they’re still figuring things out under Billy Donlon, who has built them into the Summit League’s best defensive unit, but still has not topped 16 wins in a full season as of yet.
