After Missouri’s women’s basketball team upset No. 10 Tennessee 66-64 on Sunday in Knoxville, Sophie Cunningham had a hard time enjoying the win.
The Tigers had won in Knoxville for the first time in program history and Cunningham after the game looked at her phone to discover tweets that called MU’s star forward a “dirty player,” among others.
On Wednesday, Cunningham and coach Robin Pingeton addressed those comments for the first time and apologized for any misunderstanding.
Cunningham drew the ire of opposing fans after she elbowed Vols forward Rennia Davis on the way to the basket and was called for an unsportsmanlike foul.
