Mike Anderson: ‘I’m a Missouri Tiger’

The Missouri Tigers have work to do Thursday night, but the road to the Final Four isn’t going to be an easy or a drama-free one for Mizzou. Arkansas fired coach John Pelphrey on Sunday, which led, of course, to more talk that Mizzou coach Mike Anderson is a candidate for the job.

For his part, Anderson tried to deflect, telling reporters, “I’m a Missouri Tiger.” And you thought the speculation ended weeks ago when Anderson told reporters, “I plan on being at Missouri for a long time, retire here.”

Oh, you didn’t?
