A season that once seemed so promising came to a sputtering end on Thursday night, matching the weeks-long slide that preceded it.
After a NCAA Tournament snub that left them playing for pride in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament, Robin Pingeton’s Tigers quickly bowed out of postseason play, dropping their opening round game to the Drake Bulldogs 83-75 in overtime.
The Tigers (18-13) were led by Aijha Blackwell’s 27 points, including her basket that tied the score at 66-66 and forced overtime.
Blackwell added 10 rebounds for yet another double-double in the game.
