Missouri defeats Auburn in Overtime thriller
Mizzou Tigers vs. Auburn Tigers at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, MO. on Thursday, January 06, 2022.After not being able to practice for what seemed like eternity, the Mizzou women’s basketball team came out to The Zou looking to start 2-0 in conference play. We were unsure of exactly who would be available after being short-handed against South Carolina on the 30th and the subsequent Covid-related issues that postponed Sunday’s Vanderbilt match up.
The “next player up” mentality was still in full effect even though Missouri was once again down a few players. Sara-Rose Smith got her first career start in place of Haley Troup, who wasn’t in attendance, and I’m sure she was excited for that.
