For most of Sunday afternoon, Chaifetz Arena was loud. While quiet at the start, the blare of the Billiken faithful persisted throughout the game, just like the team they were cheering on. SLU never backed down and never went away, and as a result, the Billikens walked away with a 93-85 victory. It was a far different SLU squad than the one that lost by 30 at Mizzou Arena last season.
“They’re just relentless,” head coach Robin Pingeton said after the game.
Mizzou came out of the gates hot on offense. Per usual, Mama Dembele was the lead facilitator, and she ended the quarter with four assists.
