How to Watch: Missouri Women's Basketball at Tennessee
The Missouri women's basketball team has been in a bit of dry spell of late, as it's lost three straight games and is 2-6 in SEC play.
The Tigers are aiming to turn things around, as March will be here before we know it. But Tennessee, their next matchup, brings a lot to the table, as the two teams' records against the SEC are the exact opposite.
That said, if Mizzou can upset the Lady Volunteers on the road, the chances of a momentum shift in the locker room for the next few games are that much more likely. They won't have that jolt if they lose.
