COACH’S QUOTES
Head coach Jamie Morrison on today’s match…
“Missouri outworked us today. We get to decide who we want to be when we step on the court, and we didn’t do that today. They played scrappy defense and were willing to stay in long rally’s and I felt we were getting a little frustrated in those moments.”
