Nearly two years ago, Missouri redshirt senior forward Jordan Frericks anxiously waited with her teammates during Selection Monday. The Tigers had finished with a 22-10 record and lost in the second round of the SEC Tournament.
“Anticipating seeing us on the big screen or being in the tournament, that’s awesome,” said Frericks as she reflected on the excitement and surprise of getting in. Now, she knows a trip to the tournament is “pretty much guaranteed.” The giddiness that initially came with being selected may now be absent, but Frericks and the Tigers have higher aspirations than ever before.
