LAST TIME OUT
BreAnna Brock made the most of Senior Night by registering a double-double before halftime, but her impressive night was unable to lead the Tigers (12-16, 2-15) to a win over the Texas Longhorns (17-12, 7-10). Despite jumping out to a 15-4 lead in the game's early minutes, the Tigers fell in their final home game of the season by a final score of 75-62. All three seniors registered points for Mizzou, as Brock added 24 points to her 16 rebounds, a season-high on the glass. Bailey Gee tallied seven, and Christine Flores added a point of her own as the seniors combined for 32 of the Tigers' 62 points.
UP NEXT
The Tigers will close the regular season at Oklahoma State on Saturday, Mar. 3. The Big 12 Tournament will begin on Mar. 7 in Kansas City, Mo.
