The 1994–95 Missouri Tigers men's basketball team represented the University of Missouri as a member of the Big Eight Conference during the 1994–95 NCAA men's basketball season. Led by head coach Norm Stewart, the Tigers finished fourth in the Big Eight Conference regular season standings. Though upset by Iowa State in the Big Eight tournament quarterfinals, the Tigers were awarded the No.8 seed in the West region of the NCAA tournament. After defeating 9th-seeded Indiana in the opening round,[1] this Missouri team will be remembered for almost knocking off No.1 overall seed, and eventual National champion, UCLA were it not for a Tyus Edney coast-to-coast layup that dropped through at the buzzer.[2] Missouri finished with an overall record of 20–9 (8–6 Big Eight).
