Women’s Basketball Events Scheduled Across Six States
Several women’s basketball programs are preparing for early-season games: Missouri, unbeaten at 2-0, hosts Tennessee Tech for its school field-trip game, while SIUE welcomes Milwaukee after a one-point loss to IU Indy, and Central Michigan hosts Butler to open a two-game homestand. Missouri’s Grace Slaughter scored 23 points in the win over Little Rock and moved to 11th on the program’s career scoring list; freshman Khloe Ford and newcomer McKenzie Mathurin have also made strong starts. SIUE’s leading scorer had 21 points against IU Indy, while Milwaukee enters its matchup 0-2. Separately, WPI moved Friday’s Worcester City Tournament games to its Sports & Recreation Center because of slippery floor conditions. The Big 12 women’s basketball tournament will return to Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center, with all 16 conference teams competing for the title and the league’s automatic NCAA Tournament berth; the event is scheduled to begin March 3, with the final set for March 7 or March 8 if BYU advances.
