The Tigers trailed by five early in the fourth quarter but the Bulldogs imploded down the stretch, going scoreless for 6:22. Cierra Porter’s layup put the Tigers in front 44-43 with 3:57 left, followed by back-to-back Jordan Frericks’ baskets. After a Georgia 3-pointer cut Mizzou’s lead to 50-48, the Tigers clinched the win from the free throw line in the final 17 seconds. Porter and Frericks each scored 11 points to lead the Tigers. Sierra Michaelis added eight points.

"We bent there a little bit in the third quarter," Missouri Coach Robin Pingeton said during her postgame radio interview on KTGR. "It would’ve been easy for us to kind of unravel completely. We did a little bit, but we hung in there, and we stayed the course and got a big win for our team."

Auburn's New Williams to miss Saturday's game at Missouri | AL.com
Other Auburn injuries include Tahj Shamsid-Deen, whose dislocated shoulder has him sidelined indefinitely and T.J. Dunans, who is out for multiple weeks while he nurses a bruised knee. Fellow guard Danjel Purifoy remains academically ineligible.
Apparently Auburn actually has a player named "New Williams."
Auburn ready to run with Missouri
"It’s an important game, two teams picked in the lower half," said Pearl, referring to the SEC preseason media poll, which saw Auburn predicted to finish 10th while Missouri was projected to finish in the conference cellar at 14th. "These are the kind of games where we’ll have an opportunity." Pearl said picking up a win at Mizzou Arena would mean even more when placed in the context of last season's game. In that contest, Auburn led 61-54 with 3:04 remaining before Missouri finished the game on a 9-0 run to take a 63-61 victory.
Bruce Pearl believes Mizzou will run vs. Auburn
"I think it’s more not as much in styles because Missouri likes to run, they’re good in transition but it’s just their scores have been down because they’re so good defensively that...teams will get deep in the shot clock against Missouri because they’re solid defensively," Pearl said Thursday.
Heupel mic'd up
A video from Utah State's YouTube gives us a brief glimpse of Mizzou's new OC coaches up the QBs. He focuses a lot of form and technique, specifically the QB's feet which I thought might have been Drew Lock (and Maty Mauk's) biggest problem last year.
And let's all hope that Josh "Juggernaut" Augusta works his way into NFL 1st round shape
