This game may not seem interesting to most, but South Dakota is ESPNW’s top-rated mid-major club in the nation. Missouri has had it’s struggles this season, losing to Green Bay at home and to Michigan during a holiday tournament. But they’ve been on a 5-gm win streak, beating teams like Quinnipiac, Duke, and West Virginia.

This one should be starting up if you're bored with the blowout games.

32-28 SD at the half

Sophie Cunningham with poor 1st half. 2-8 5pts total.

South Dakota is a solid team. Stretched their lead out to 12 at end of 3Q. Other than putting Mizzou on the line too much in this quarter, they have looked solid.

I really have been surprised at Mizzou. I figured they would be better, but losing Porter has apparently affected them more than I realized it would.

Missouri on a 7-0 run, cuts the lead to 63-56. Forces a South Dakota timeout.

SD making some poor decisions and just simply fouling too much.

Jordan Frericks was the bigger loss for Missouri.

Go Coyotes! 61-56 with 5:47 to go

 

[Plebe]

Mizzou cut the deficit to 2, but South Dakota has steadied the ship with some clutch play on offense, and Missouri has missed their last few 3-pt attempts. SD up by 6 and has the ball with less than 2:00 to play.

Missouri will be dropping out of the Top 25

This is Cunningham's 3rd time to foul out this season (out of 11 games).

Mizzou has lost to Green Bay and now by double digits to South Dakota. I have no idea how they beat West Virginia in Morgantown.

Lol @ the announcer: "Party in Vermillion tonight!"

Seriously, South Dakota is a nice team. This is their second time to beat a top-25 team this season (they beat then-#23 Iowa State a couple weeks ago). Duffy was really outstanding for them. Apparently there is only one senior on this team.

Almost two-thirds of Mizzou's shot attempts were from 3, and they were 12 of 36. That's called living and dying by it.

 

[LoTrader]

Missouri has been overrated the past 2 seasons.

Agree, I can't stand Cunningham. Mizzou is overall a very physical team. I thought they got some home-court officiating this afternoon, although I only saw the second half.

One thing I noticed about Mizzou is that every time one of them made a good play, she acted like she'd just won the game for them. Enthusiasm is good, but a big celebration of a block (out of bounds, so the Coyotes were getting the ball back) when you're down ten with six minutes left is not something I find appealing.

 

[eebmg]

From what little I saw of the game, Mizzou was also plagued by horrendous passing with really ill advised high risk passes in closed spaces due to lack of movement. I guess they think that they can play bully ball but other teams are not impressed

Yesssss.

Guess who’s back?

Guess who’s back?

This is a huge boost for Mizzou, which could really use the help.
