Missouri’s mid-game shooting slump spelled doom Friday in a 62-48 loss against Texas A&M during the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament quarterfinals at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
The Tigers (21-10) managed only 12 points and went 6 of 25 from the field during the second and third quarters, allowing the Aggies (21-10) to turn a nine-point deficit after the first quarter into an eight-point lead entering the final quarter.
“We’re not known as a great defensive team,” A&M coach Gary Blair said. “That might have been one of our best defensive efforts ever.”
The loss keeps Missouri winless in five tries at the SEC tourney.
