Illinois women’s basketball brought the heat to Columbia, snapping Mizzou’s five-game winning streak with a 70-62 victory. The Illini’s suffocating defense and size advantage set the tone early, holding Missouri to just two points for much of the first quarter. Even with a late surge from the Tigers—fueled by some clutch three-pointers and a fiery halftime pep talk—Illinois kept their composure and control. Mizzou did win the rebounding battle, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Illinois’ relentless pressure. What do you think made the biggest difference in this rivalry game? #Sports #BragginRights #Mizzou
