MU Women's Basketball

Paige Spietz was a star in high school. She didn't sit on the bench, play in huge arenas or lose many games. That's all changed now that she's on the Missouri women's basketball team.

RaeShara Brown's career-high 33 points were not enough to give the Missouri women's basketball team its first Big 12 Conference road win, and the Tigers lost 66-63 Wednesday at Kansas State.

Christine Flores broke her right middle finger in four places last week in the Missouri women's basketball team's loss at Texas Tech, but Flores is expected to return to play in Wednesday's game at Kansas State.

BreAnna Brock, a 6-foot-2 forward, has great athleticism, including the ability to dunk. She is learning to transfer that ability to the court for the Missouri women's basketball team.

RaeShara Brown is the second-shortest player on the Missouri women's basketball team, but she leads the team with 6.6 rebounds per game.

Twenty-seven turnovers led to an 80-45 loss for the Missouri women's basketball against No. 7 Texas A&M, dropping the Tigers' Big 12 Conference record to 1-2.

Christine Flores missed Saturday's game with a broken finger. Her presence was missed as No. 7 Texas A&M defeated Missouri 80-45.

It's been an up and down season for the Missouri women's basketball team, so it's hard to know what to expect when No. 7 Texas A&M plays the Tigers on Saturday at Mizzou Arena. Missouri might be without junior forward Christine Flores, who averages 15.4 points per game.

Missouri shot just 19 percent in the second half and committed a season-high 26 turnovers in a 63-56 loss to Texas Tech on Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas.

New Missouri women's basketball coach Robin Pingeton finally has a chance to coach in Big 12 Conference play. She got off to a good start with an upset win Saturday at Texas. Here’s some of her thoughts as the conference season begins.

Sophomore guard Trenee Thornton played a bigger role than the statistics show in the Tigers' upset victory Saturday at Texas.

RaeShara Brown led the Tigers with 27 points and Christine Flores had 24, but the Missouri women's basketball team couldn’t have upset Texas without Otote’s 14.

A late rally gave the Missouri women's basketball team an 85-80 victory over No. 22-ranked Texas in a Big 12 Conference opener Saturday at Mizzou Arena.

Yvonne Anderson, the daughter of MU men's basketball coach Mike Anderson and a former standout at Hickman, will return to Columbia on Saturday with the Texas Longhorns women's basketball team to open Big 12 Conference play against Missouri.

Missouri fell 83-51 at Xavier on Wednesday in its last nonconference game of the season, but Tigers coach Robin Pingeton said her team played with focus and energy.

The Tigers were on a five-game winning streak before getting blown out by Florida State. They hope for a quick turnaround in their final nonconference game of the season Wednesday in Cincinnati, Ohio, where  they will face the No. 9 Xavier Musketeers.

Florida State's defense caused problems for the Tigers, especially senior guard RaeShara Brown.

The Seminoles's inside presence helped give them the edge over the Tigers.

The Missouri women's basketball team will have a rare opportunity Sunday when it plays  No. 25 Florida State.
