The Missouri athletic department announced Wednesday that an NCAA investigation of the MU men’s basketball program discovered five violations, including three major infractions, from Frank Haith’s coaching tenure. Missouri is banned from the postseason — including the Southeastern Conference Tournament — this season. It has vacated all wins from the 2013-14 season. It has self-imposed the loss of one scholarship for the 2015-16 season and another for no later than the 2017-18 season.
