Mizzou WBB (2-2) trailed Tulane (0-2) 37-30 at the half, as fans everywhere feared for the worst. But the Tigers refused to give in and lose their second straight, outscoring the Green Wave 30-15 in the second half to walk away with the 8-point W.
Head coach Robin Pingeton gave a perfectly executed halftime speech as the Tigers started the second half on an 8-0 run as the began to attack the basket, shooting more free throws in the first three minutes than they did the entire first half.
“The message at halftime was just, you know, there wasn’t much more than we’ve got to do a better job rebounding,” Pingeton said.
