The Missouri women’s basketball team is in the NCAA Tournament, but the Tigers fell short of a season-long goal.
They will not be a top-16 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, which means they will not host the first two rounds of the tournament at Mizzou Arena.
Missouri (24-7) will be a No. 5 seed in the Lexington (Ky.) Regional. Despite the disappointment for MU, this is the highest seed the Tigers have ever received in the 64-team format of the tournament. They will travel to Palo Alto, Calif. to play No. 12 seed Florida Gulf Coast (30-4) on Saturday.
