The last time Missouri played Auburn [was the last time they won] (http://www.themaneater.com/stories/2016/2/21/missouri-defeats-auburn-69-55/). However, a missed layup from freshman Cierra Porter as time expired sent the black and gold packing and headed back to Columbia.
The game against Auburn was not only a one-and-done determinant for moving on to the second round of the Southeastern Conference tournament, but also one of the last chances Missouri had to prove itself worthy of an NCAA Tournament bid.
