The History of Women’s Basketball at Mizzou

The Mizzou Tigers have a great history. Formed during the 1974-1975 season, the Tigers have gone on to be a winning team. Their best post-season results happened in 1982 and 2001 in the Sweet Sixteen.

Playing in Conferences

The Tigers have played in the Big 8 and Big 12 Conferences, and they joined the Big 12 in 1997. After leaving the Big 12 Conference in 2012, the team joined the Southeastern Conference where they are today. 

Always exciting, the Missouri Tigers women’s basketball team has played Princeton, Northern Iowa Panthers, Nebraska, LSU, Green Bay Phoenix, South Dakota Coyotes, Illinois Fighting Illini, and other teams.

The University of Missouri Tigers women’s basketball team colors are gold and black. This team has been around for a while, and they have some great accomplishments under their belt, including:

  • All-Time Record: 787-566
  • All-Time Home Record: 440-178

A Trip to Sunny Mexico

The Mizzou Tigers recently hit the road to Cancun Mexico to play in a Thanksgiving tournament, the Cancun Challenge. It is only the second time that the team has played in the Cancun Challenge. Unfortunately, the Tigers lost to North Carolina with a score of 82-69.

Future games will be filled with as much action as those in the past. Whether they cruise to victory or drop a game in a nail-biter, Mizzou will play with everything they’ve got. We are proud to sponsor athletics at this school. For every free throw the women’s basketball team makes, we donate $10 to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
