Mizzou Quote of the Day:

"[Mama's] vibe, her leadership is so impactful for our team. I just felt like she was able to recalibrate so quickly, and just have that next next play mentality and really, I thought created some havoc on the defensive end for us. Huge game for Mama, she really stepped up as a leader in this game."

- Missouri women's basketball head coach Robin Pingeton
