Hansen, Missouri stun No. 1 South Carolina 70-69 in overtime
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Lauren Hansen made a driving layup with 0.1 seconds left and Missouri stunned No. 1 South Carolina 70-69 in overtime Thursday night in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.
The Tigers (12-2) overcame the absence of scoring leader Aijha Blackwell and four other players to beat a No. 1 team for the first time in program history. They were previously 0-8 against No. 1 ranked teams.
This is a huge win for us and I couldnt be more proud, Missouri coach Robin Pingleton said. The grit they showed and the belief. Their ability to play through tough possessions and different players stepped up at different times.
It marked only the seventh time an unranked team has beaten the top-ranked team, and the first since Colorado beat Stanford on Jan. 17, 2021. South Carolina had won 43 straight nonconference games.
