Hall of Fame
Missouri Western Men's Basketball saw much success with Damon Bailey on the court, going 46-15 overall and 22-8 in conference games during his two seasons as a Griffon. That includes a regular season MIAA co-championship in 2002 and an MIAA Tournament Championship in 2003 with two NCAA South Central Regional appearances during his time. That 2003 MIAA Tournament was also the first time the tourney was held in Kansas City, Missouri. Bailey led the charge in that 2003 run, receiving MIAA Postseason Tournament MVP honors.
Bailey was an effective scorer for the Griffons as his 590 points in the 2002-03 season ranks second all-time and his 496 points in the 2001-2002 season puts him at fourth all-time in the single season records. Over his two seasons as a Griffon, Bailey logged 1,086 points, billing him 12th all-time in career scoring. Bailey earned Second Team All-MIAA following the 2001-02 season and was a First Team All-MIAA pick following his 2002-03 season.
