100 and counting: Missouri scored 100 points for the second time this season, the fourth time under head coach Cindy Stein and the 33rd time in program history with the 102-47 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. MU improved its all-time mark to 32-1 when it tops the century mark. The Tigers are a perfect 4-0 under Stein when scoring 100 or more. The 100th point came on a layup by freshman Angie Carter.
School record: Missouri sank a school record 13 3-point field goals in the win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The previous mark was 11 against Kansas on Feb. 10, 2001. The Tigers sank nine (on 13 attempts) in the first half. Tracy Lozier gave the Tigers the record with a 3-point field goal with seven minutes and three seconds remaining before Lauren Podratz sank another to push the mark to 13 on MU's next possession.
A lot of points: Every player Missouri suited up for the Arkansas-Pine Bluff game scored. MU had five players - Natalie Bright 17, Kerensa Barr 13, Tracy Lozier 12, Terianne Wolford 12 and Melanie Fisher 10 - score in double figures.
