I believe this account is the closest to the truth. It is what I remember hearing at the time.
Actually I found a news story about it. They did more than heckling at the arena. They were and are a bunch of losers.
Missouri Athletic Director Jack Lengyel scolded a group of students for an incident involving Iowa State forward Jeff Grayer last Saturday....

I've written before on here regarding my feelings on Missouri the state, and I'll do so again here; I despise the state, with the exception of the metro areas. Nothing but white trash and meth as far as I'm concerned, and if you were to devastate the state (again, outside of KC and St. Louis) with a nuclear blast I think the nation's average IQ would go up by almost ten points. There is a reason why "Ozark" is set in rural Missouri.
I hope we win by 40 and keep our starters in the whole game. I want us to destroy their will to compete. I. Hate. Missouri.
And yes, the low class antics by low class trash like the Antlers that I still remember as a kid has a lot to do with it.
