In Missouri’s 68-53 dismantling of Auburn, the Tigers’ 36 points in the paint tells the whole story. Mizzou dominated this area and had no problem solving Auburn’s zone defense. Mizzou was led by Cierra Porter’s 27-point, nine-rebound performance.
This was Mizzou’s fourth straight victory. The Tigers are now 15-7 and 5-3 in Southeastern Conference play. Auburn slips to 14-7 and 4-3 in the SEC.
Auburn opened the game in a zone press, looking to disrupt Mizzou offensively.
“[Auburn] is a team that can really make you play at a pace that you are not comfortable with,” Missouri coach Robin Pingeton said.
