The Missouri Tigers moved to 10-1 after a vicious 83-36 beatdown over the now 4-5 Omaha Mavericks in front of an electric atmosphere powered by a massive Columbia Public Schools elementary field trip crowd.
“The energy from the kids was amazing,” Pingeton said. “It was loud and I hope they had a good time, and I wish we had more time after the game to celebrate with them.”
The Tigers raced out to an early 11-0 lead, courtesy of hot early shooting from Hayley Frank and Haley Troup. The exciting first quarter was powered by a defensive clinic from Head Coach Robin Pingeton’s team, who held Omaha to an abysmal 1-12 shooting in the first quarter en route to a 26-6 first quarter lead.
