COLUMBIA, MO. * It took six years but Missouri seems to finally have a rival in the Southeastern Conference — at least in the sport of women’s basketball.
Controversy unfolded in Mizzou’s last two games against South Carolina, especially in Sunday’s showdown in Columbia, S.C., where a first-half scuffle led to multiple fouls, two ejections and more bad blood between the programs.
After the Gamecocks held off the Tigers 64-54, former Mizzou player Sierra Michaelis threw gas on the fire when she tweeted that South Carolina fans spit on Mizzou players at Colonial Life Arena.
