One year ago, the Missouri women’s basketball team’s Senior Night celebration turned sour with a shocking loss against Vanderbilt.
Tigers sophomore sensation Sophie Cunningham and a trio of teammates who suited up Thursday at Mizzou Arena for the final time made darn certain history would not repeat itself.
Cunningham went on a personal 32-point blitzkrieg, pacing a 100-65 obliteration of Mississippi and keeping Mizzou on track for a double-bye in next week’s SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament.
She got plenty of help from senior guard and older sister Lindsey Cunningham, who tied a career-high with five three-pointers and poured in a season- and career-high 21 points.
