South Carolina fans gave Missouri quite the exit in the Tigers’ 64-54 loss Sunday in Columbia, S.C., when Gamecocks fans allegedly spit on the players as they exited the court.
Former MU women’s basketball player Sierra Michaelis, who was at the game, posted on Twitter that fans spit on the court.
As Missouri coach Robin Pingeton addressed the media on Tuesday for the first time since the game, she did not deny that spitting occurred and took a long pause. She appeared to be holding back tears while speaking.
“Let me choose my words wisely,” she said.
