Missouri women’s basketball had a big morning Tuesday as head coach Robin Pingeton, sophomore guard Sophie Cunningham and freshman guard Amber Smith all received conference honors for their performances this season.
Pingeton was named the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year for leading the Tigers to an 21-9 record en route to a No. 3 seed in the SEC Tournament. She became the second coach in program history to receive Coach of the Year honors. Joann Rutherford, who coached the Tigers from from 1975 to 1998, was given the award three separate times, in 1984, 1985 and 1990.
