Head Coach Barry Odom was pleased to see his program front and center in this weekend's graduation ceremonies.
"Congratulations to all students who are graduating from Mizzou this weekend. Naturally, we are very excited for our guys, and are so proud of them, and also for their families. By earning a degree from Mizzou, they have changed their life course history. One day, they will look back on this as one of the most rewarding achievements of their lives. They have all worked very hard in the classroom, and they have earned it."
