Missouri's student section hasn't forgotten about last season's showdown against Alabama basketball. Judging by signage in the student section at Mizzou Arena, "the Antlers" hope that Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats remembers to keep his hands off opposing players.

Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats, in frustration over his team's poor play, shattered a clipboard Wednesday at Missouri and drew a technical foul.

Oats said he'd spoken to a longtime friend in the NBA who told him it's all down to getting back to fundamentals, including improvement in guarding one-on-one, boxing out, sprinting back and communicating. He added that leadership on that starts from the top down, including himself.
