On Monday, November 7, the 2022-2023 Mizzou Women’s Basketball team kicks off with an away matchup against in-state rivals, Missouri State. If you recall, a once promising season for the Tigers turned into dismay as players were suspended - some for significant stretches - and two large losing streaks plagued them.
Even with their 18-12 regular season, which included a win over top-ranked South Carolina on December 30, and their one loss in the SEC tournament, the Tigers were still projected to get into the NCAA tournament. They held a watch party but when it was all said and done, Mizzou found themselves on the outside looking into a tournament that should have included them.
