For the first time since the 2017-2018 season, the Mizzou women’s basketball team head into conference play with only two losses. In the ‘17-18 season, the Tigers headed into conference play with a 11-2 record. This season they’ll head into SEC play matching that 11-2 record. Aside from their great play, history was made, heartbreaks occurred and adversity was overcome.
Mizzou faced Columbia University or Lehigh University for the first time in the program’s history, and both of those matchups ended in wins at the Christmas City Basketball Tournament.
The following fact might not have been history making, but for how these past few seasons has been, it is definitely up there: Until their loss at Baylor, the Tigers were on an eight game win streak, their best start since the 2015-2016 season.
