You already knew Sophie Cunningham was the GOAT. Whether or not she could will another win against the 5th ranked team in the country on a night when her Tigers were playing their third game in three nights wasn’t ever likely to happen.
Mizzou fought for long stretches but looked out of gas at the end of the first half and in the second half as the Bulldogs extended their lead to as many as 16 in the 3rd quarter. The Tigers fought their way back to a five point deficit but a quick burst from State, largely fueled by All American Teaira McCowan.
