Inefficiency Spells Doom for Mizzou Women's Basketball in Exhibition Game
Mizzou shot just 10.7% from three-point range in a 90-84 overtime loss to Division-II Maryville, raising concerns before the season opener under new coach Kellie Harper.
- On Tuesday night, Missouri Tigers women's basketball lost 90-84 in overtime to the Maryville Saints, a Division-II team from Town and Country, Missouri, at Mizzou Arena.
- Kellie Harper debuted after replacing longtime coach Robin Pingeton, with Mizzou's roster featuring five returning players and seven transfer additions in her first offseason.
- Shooting woes—3-of-30 in triples and 10.7% clip in regulation—limited Missouri’s offense as only Grace Slaughter, Jordana Reisma, and Shannon Dowell scored in double figures before overtime.
- With the season less than a week away, the loss raises immediate readiness questions as Mizzou opens Monday against Central Arkansas at 6:30 p.m. in Columbia.
- Historically, Mizzou has seldom lost exhibitions, but this result dropped its mark to 36-2 with Harper recalling only one other Division-I Missouri vs Division-II Maryville loss.
