Tigers drop seventh straight in loss to Longhorns
The Missouri women’s basketball team remained winless in Big 12 Conference play with a 75-58 loss to the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday in Austin, Texas.
The Tigers (10-8, 0-7 Big 12) got off to a terrible start, finding themselves down 11-0 just four minutes into the game. They fought back to a 15-12 deficit, but the Longhorns went on another run to take a 33-18 lead.
The Tigers would fight back again, cutting the lead to 39-34 at the half. But they could never seriously challenge the Longhorns in the second half as their deficit slowly expanded to the final 17-point margin.
The Tigers once again struggled shooting from the floor going only 22-of-70.
The Tigers were led again by the inside duo of senior forwards Christine Flores and BreAnna Brock. Flores led the Tigers with 12 points while Brock added a double-double of 11 points and a team-high 13 rebounds.
The Tigers will return home on Saturday to face the Oklahoma Sooners at 4:30. The Sooners are 4-2 in conference play.
