Meanwhile, the Mizzou women have already made a trip to the Gateway City, prevailing over St Louis University at Chaifetz Arena. The Tigers overcame an eight-point deficit early in the contest to go on a 17-2 run, aided by three-point baskets from Jayla Smith and Abbey Schreacke. Another double-digit run in the second quarter allowed Mizzou to take a 15-point lead to the locker room at the half, eventually cruising through the second half to lock up their tenth win of the season.

Grace Slaughter, Shannon Dowell, and Chloe Sotell each had 16 points to lead the Tigers, with Sotell claiming four of Mizzou’s ten three-point baskets. The Tigers were 44 percent from the field. Mizzou’s women are back at Mizzou Arena next weekend, hosting North Alabama at noon Sunday.
