Brigham Young guard Lexi Eaton Rydalch (21) is pressured by Missouri defenders as she tries to pass during a first-round women's college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament, Saturday, March 19, 2016, in Austin, Texas.
The Cougars fought to the very end, but ultimately couldn't match Missouri's size while allowing too many easy looks and committing too many fouls.
“We made mistakes on defense and then we just didn't make enough plays at the end of the game.”
