The conference tournament trip was a short one.
Missouri women’s basketball was quickly bounced from the Southeastern Conference tournament, ending its season Wednesday afternoon with a 66-60 loss in the first round to Florida.
The Tigers (11-19 overall), whose 2-14 record in conference play saw them enter the tournament as the bottom seed, were beaten decisively by the 11th-seeded Gators and finished the season on a 12-game losing streak.
While the loss doesn’t much alter the perception of a disappointing season, it does cap off the campaign and begin an offseason that will be pivotal for Mizzou as an interim athletics department administration weighs the future of coach Robin Pingeton.
