COLUMBIA, Mo. — Mama Dembele called the plays, prowled and patiently waited for the action to unfold ahead of her, and inevitably cut St. Louis University’s defense open time and again Wednesday at Mizzou Arena.
Missouri women’s basketball got back into the win column with an 82-52 win over the Billikens, and the Tigers' junior guard was the one who got them there.
The Tigers found an effective solution to their first loss of the season at the hands of then-No. 11 Virginia Tech: Put the ball in your best shooters’ hands early and often. With Dembele spearheading most possessions, they had plenty of chances.
