Mizzou Hoops Stays Hot, Eyes Texas Showdown After Gritty Win Over A&M
If you’re looking for a team heating up at the right time, look no further than Missouri Basketball. The Tigers are picking up steam, and their latest win might be the most important yet.
On Wednesday night, Mizzou went into College Station and walked out with a statement victory, edging Texas A&M 86-85 in a thrilling conference road game. That’s now three Quad 1 wins on the season for Missouri, and this one might carry the most weight when the NCAA Tournament committee starts making decisions. With the win, Mizzou improves to 17-7 overall and 7-4 in SEC play - a resume that’s starting to look more and more like March material.
Freshman forward Trent Pierce was the star of the night, pouring in 23 points and showing poise well beyond his years. He was everywhere - knocking down shots, crashing the boards, and making plays in crunch time. It was the kind of performance that doesn’t just win games - it builds belief in locker rooms.
Now, the Tigers are staring down another marquee matchup. Texas comes to Mizzou Arena on Saturday night, and the stakes are only getting higher.
The arena’s already sold out, and the atmosphere is expected to be electric. It’s the kind of game that can define a season - and Missouri has a real chance to grab the spotlight.
Softball Stumbles in Florida, But Harrison Shines
While the hoops squad was celebrating in Texas, Mizzou Softball was battling in the Sunshine State. The Tigers dropped a 5-1 decision to UCF on Wednesday night, falling to 2-4 on the young season. It’s not the start head coach Larissa Anderson was hoping for, especially after Missouri jumped out to an early lead.
But the silver lining? Cierra Harrison.
The sophomore right-hander was sharp despite taking the loss. She gave Missouri a chance, but the offense couldn’t back her up.
One pitch got away from her, and UCF made it count. Still, Harrison’s performance was a reminder that the Tigers have a legitimate ace - they just need the bats to catch up.
Missouri won’t have much time to dwell. They’re heading straight into the gauntlet this weekend at the Shriners Children’s Clearwater Invitational.
First up: NC State, followed by a heavyweight clash with Top 10 powerhouse UCLA. It’s a tough draw, but also a big opportunity to reset the tone of the season.
