COLUMBIA, Mo. – Janiah McKay scored 14 points and Emari Jones added a career-high 11, but Auburn dropped its first SEC road game of the year, falling at Missouri 68-53 Thursday night.
Auburn (14-7, 4-3 SEC) went cold in the second half as Missouri’s Cierra Porter scored a career-high 27 points to lead all scorers. Mizzou improved to 15-7 overall, 5-3 in the SEC.
“I thought we became a little stagnant,” Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. “We moved slowly defensively and offensively. We would get out of place defensively, then we would foul.
