COLUMBIA, MO. – After a 2-0 week that saw Mizzou secure wins over No. 21 Oregon on a neutral floor and Wichita State on the road, Mizzou Men’s Basketball head coach Cuonzo Martin has been named ESPN’s National Coach of the Week.
Martin’s squad is 3-0 to begin the 2020-21 campaign, the program’s first 3-0 start since 2013-14. The Tigers picked up their first win over a ranked opponent away from home since 2012 with their 83-75 victory over No. 21 Oregon.
Martin then turned around and led his team to a gritty true road win over Wichita State. Mizzou beat the Shockers, 72-62, handing Wichita State its first home loss in the nonconference in 17 games.
ESPN’s Jeff Borzello tabbed Martin the National Coach of the Week on Monday morning.
Mizzou returns home to face the Liberty Flames (4-2) on Wednesday night at Mizzou Arena. Tip is set for 7:15 p.m. CT on SEC Network.
