The Missouri women’s basketball team gathered around head coach Robin Pingeton for a short meeting during a late regular season practice. Pingeton laid out the pages of stats and talked briefly about the Southeastern Conference standings, the team’s future in the NCAA and other postseason games.

“I said there would be no more discussion about it,” Pingeton said. “We’ll take it one day at a time and be the best we can be. Any time you get too far ahead of yourself, you start to play to not lose instead of playing to win.
