The Tigers were designated as the 4 seed. If they advance, they'll play the winner of No. 1 seed BYU vs. Alabama A&M.

Missouri was one of two Southeastern Conference teams to accept an invite, joined by Texas A&M.

In its first season under head coach Kellie Harper, the Tigers finished right at .500, going 16-16. The Tigers started conference play with four straight losses, but had a streak of three consecutive wins to finish with a 4-12 conference mark.

Mizzou Quote of the Day:

"It's not the wind and the sun and a bad call and the luck of the leprechaun and the test they had earlier ... We spend a lot of time with that because ... at some point people have to take responsibility for themselves."
