Amaka Agugua-Hamilton likes to motivate her team before every game, but she doesn't think she'll have a problem with that on Sunday.
Instead, "Coach Mox" thinks she's going to have to try to calm her team down before they take the court to play Mizzou.
"They're ecstatic," Agugua-Hamilton said. "I think it's going to be an amazing atmosphere."
The No. 18 nationally-ranked Lady Bears (8-1) are set to host Mizzou (3-7) on Sunday at 3 p.m. at JQH Arena in a game that has more hype than usual.
The excitement around the Lady Bears' opportunity to knock off an in-state rivalry has turned into ticket sales.
