DOWN GOES NUMBER ONE SOUTH CAROLINA! Those are words exclaimed with enthusiastic passion as the Missouri Tigers made program history. They defeated the Gamecocks 70-69 in OT, snapping South Carolina’s 43-game winning streak against unranked teams, per ESPN. This was also the first time Mizzou has ever taken down the top ranked team in the nation.
This win didn’t show the Tigers in full force but nothing fazed them.
24 hours before game time, Coach Pingeton found out that her squad would be down six players, including star Aijha Blackwell and freshman Izzy Higginbottom.
