Mizzou WBB’s firework show on offense leads to dominant victory over Indiana State

Mizzou faced off against a Missouri Valley Conference team for the first time on Monday and had difficulty finding the net, shooting 41% from the field and 18% from long range. They also turned the ball over 16 times. In their second game against an MVC team, the turnovers continued, with 25 turnovers in the game, tying for the most since the 2017-18 season. However, their shooting improved significantly, making 16 out of 27 shots from beyond the arc. Ashton Judd played a dominant role in the game, scoring early on and expressing confidence on the court.

Despite the improved shooting, turnovers remained an issue for the Tigers, as they committed seven in the first ten minutes. However, they found their rhythm in the second frame, with seven different players scoring, including freshmen players. The team’s ball movement was outstanding, but turnovers continued to plague them, resulting in 15 turnovers by halftime.

The start of the second half saw both teams employing zone defense, with Mizzou breaking down the Sycamores’ defense. The third quarter belonged to Judd, who performed exceptionally on offense and defense. The Tigers led by 29 points at the end of the third quarter, and the fourth quarter further solidified their dominance, with players like Schreacke and Milkovic contributing to the team’s high-scoring game.

Judd’s impressive performance with 31 points, along with standout contributions from Schreacke and Slaughter, led to a fantastic team effort with 27 assists on 36 made field goals. Despite the turnovers, coach Pingeton praised the team’s connected and unselfish play.

Looking ahead, Mizzou will play Saint Louis on Sunday at 3 PM.
