Hot Start: Terianne Wolford, in making her third start of the season, scored seven of the Tigers' first 15 points.
8-0 runs are key: Missouri used an 8-0 run in the first half to rally from a 35-30 deficit to take a 38-35 lead. The Tigers used an 8-0 run in the second half to come back from a 63-55 deficit. The second 8-0 run was part of a 13-2 run.
Hot Start II: Wisconsin-Green Bay opened the game by making nine of its first 11 shots from the field.
Pass, Score, Rebound and ...: Kerensa Barr once again proved she can do it all on the basketball court. Barr had a career-high (tying) nine assists to go with team-high honors in points (15) and rebounds (seven). Barr hit a go-ahead 3-point field goal with 53 seconds left and then added four free throws to close the contest.
Rally Caps: OK, it's maybe not appropriate here but the Tigers rallied from a nine-point, second-half deficit as UW-Green Bay held a 63-54 edge with nine minutes and 28 seconds remaining in the game. Missouri previously rallied from a seven-point deficit (33-26) in the first half to take a 42-39 halftime lead.
Second-Half Threat: Melanie Fisher scored all 10 of her points in the second half.
