Missouri Tigers fire coach Cuonzo Martin after five seasons
The Missouri Tigers fired head coach Cuonzo Martin after five seasons, the school announced on Friday.
Martin took over the Tigers in 2017 after three seasons at California, with Missouri hiring him to replace Kim Anderson. The Tigers reached the NCAA tournament in his first season at the helm and then went to the tournament again in 2021, but failed to advance out of the first round in either season.
This season, Missouri went 12-21 overall and 5-13 in SEC play. The Tigers' season came to a close on Thursday with a 76-68 loss to LSU in the SEC tournament. Missouri lost seven of its last nine games to end the season.
In five seasons, Martin went 78-77 overall.
