OF NOTE
- Mizzou has 18 victories for the third straight season. The last time the Tigers won at least 18 games in three straight seasons was 1984-1987.
- Mizzou's eight conference wins matches its most in a season since joining the SEC (2015-16). The last time the Tigers won at least eight conference games in back-to-back seasons was 1986-87 and 1987-88.
- The Tigers' free throw percentage as a team, 80.2 percent, is on pace to set single-season program and SEC records. Only 17 teams have shot above 80 percent from the charity stripe in a season in NCAA history.
- Mizzou has clinched its fifth consecutive winning season. The last time the Tigers put together five straight winning seasons was 1985-90.
- Mizzou has four consecutive home wins in league play. That is the longest home win streak for the Tigers in conference action since the 2005-06 campaign.
- The Tigers and Gamecocks have squared off just twice at Mizzou Arena. Mizzou's only win in the series came in 2013, when the Tigers knocked off No. 14 South Carolina at home, 65-58.
- Mizzou has been dominant in first quarters this season, outscoring opponents 463-365 in the frame, including 209-161 in SEC play.
- Amber Smith leads Mizzou in field goal percentage (49.2 percent) and 3-point field goal percentage (50 percent), which is on pace to break a school record for three-point field goal percentage in a season (min. 30 attempts), a record held by Lindsey Cunningham.
- With 467 career assists, Lianna Doty needs just four more assists to move into second all-time in program history.
THREE-POINT BARRAGE
- In SEC play, Mizzou has drained a league-best 104 three-pointers, averaging 8.0 triples per contest. No other team in the SEC has made 100 threes or averages more than seven treys per game. The Tigers are shooting a blistering 39.1 percent from beyond the arc, which ranks second in the SEC, trailing only Texas A&M, who has taken 97 less attempts.
- In Mizzou's last two games combined, the Tigers shot 52.0 percent from the three-point range, making 26-of-50 attempts.
- The last time Mizzou made at least 13 three-pointers in back-to-back games was Dec. 4 and Dec. 8, 2013 against Bradley (18 threes) and Oral Roberts (17 threes).
- Three different Tigers have made at least 20 triples in conference play thus far (Sierra Michaelis - 29, Sophie Cunningham - 23, and Lindsey Cunningham - 21). No other SEC team has three players with 20 or more treys in league play.
LAST TIME OUT
- Mizzou earned a 74-67 road victory over Florida on Thursday night, improving to 6-0 all-time against the Gators.
- Sophomore Sophie Cunningham was dominant, pouring in 28 points behind four three-pointers and an 8-of-9 effort from the free throw line.The sophomore has recorded at least 16 points in three consecutive road games for Mizzou.
- Mizzou hit 13 triples as a team for the second consecutive game, shooting 46.4 percent from beyond the arc. The Tigers have racked up double-digit trifectas in five different contests this season.
