Normally being 25th in the AP College basketball poll isn’t something to celebrate. But for the Missouri women’s basketball program, it’s an accomplishment. The Tigers re-entered the rankings this week, where they haven’t been since January 2006.
“I think it’s important you celebrate the mini victories,” coach Robin Pingeton told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It’s all part of the process. We worked really hard I think over last several years, to have a chance to make history this year. Going (11-0) in the non-con, that was one of the milestones we celebrated. We weren’t satisfied. It’s about big picture, not one week, not 10 weeks, we know what it looks like.”
