The Missouri women's basketball team dropped its last game of the regular season to Vanderbilt 100-59. Despite the loss, the Tigers honored four seniors and celebrated the legacy of head coach Robin Pingeton.

On February 26, 2025, Pingeton announced that she would be stepping down from coaching after the end of the season. She was with Missouri for 15 years and was second all-time in program history in victories and winning percentage.

Vanderbilt started the game with a strong 23-8 run, but the Tigers responded by 13 unanswered points in the second quarter. The Tigers also had the advantage on the boards, outrebounding the Commodores 37-31. However, Vanderbilt capitalized on Missouri's 24 turnovers, scoring 33 points off those mistakes. Despite the loss, senior De'Myla Brown led the Tigers with 16 points in her final game. Brown also recorded three rebounds and three assists, finishing strong in the fourth quarter with seven points.

The Tigers are set to compete in the 2025 SEC Tournament in Greenville, South Carolina. The tournament will begin on Wednesday, March 5, at 5 p.m. CST, and will be held at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena from March 5 to March 9.

Missouri (14-17, 2-13 SEC) is currently ranked No. 15. In the first round, they will face No. 10 Mississippi State (20-10, 7-9 SEC) in the first round.
