Missouri's leading scorer out with a broken jaw

Missouri will be without guard Stefhon Hannah after he was injured in a bar fight following the Tigers' 66-62 victory over Colorado over the weekend. Hannah was at Athena nightclub when, according to a police report, he was hit by an unknown object thrown by an unknown person. Hannah will miss at least 4-6 weeks with a broken jaw, possibly putting an end to the season for Mizzou’s leading scorer.

The Tigers are no stranger to breaking the law, since head coach Mike Anderson took over the team almost two years ago, no less than five players have been involved in off the court incidents including reserve forward Darryl Butterfield’s October arrest on domestic assault charges.

Even coach Anderson’s relatives have gotten in on the act. His son, Mike Anderson, Jr. was suspended from the team for a drunk-driving arrest (he has since been reinstated) and Anderson’s nephew DeMarre Carroll was shot outside of a Columbia nightclub. He was considered a bystander in the incident and therefore not suspended.

Anderson’s no-tolerance policy, issued after Carroll’s incident, seems to be a glowing success. Watch out Tigers, because the popo are on your tail!
