The Mizzou women’s basketball team has returned home. After defeating Missouri State 68-51 in their season opener, the Tigers open up at Mizzou Arena against the new look Bradley Braves.
The Braves finished last season with a measly 4-24 record. Their head coach Andrea Gorski retired shortly after the end of the season which meant a lot of roster turnover was about to happen. Bradley hired the associate head coach at Northwestern, Kate Popovec-Goss who is a rising star in the coaching world. Her emphasis while at Northwestern was on the defensive end and she helped develop current Dallas Wings guard Veronica Burton into a perimeter defensive threat.
