The Missouri Tigers (11-16, 2-12 SEC) took the court on senior night against the Vanderbilt Commodores (20-8, 7-7 SEC) in hopes of avoiding their first 10-game losing streak since the Tigers lost 13-straight conference games to open the 2011-12 conference slate. This game also marked an opportunity for the Tigers to get their first and only two-game season sweep in conference play of the year.
The Tigers honored seniors Hayley Frank, Mama Dembele, Abby Feit, and Micah Linthacum tonight by placing them all in the starting lineup, and when Head Coach Robin Pingeton was asked about starting her seniors postgame, she said, “I thought it was an opportunity to really bless them,” Pingeton said.
