Illinois has won nine regular-season non-conference games for just the sixth time in program history. Missouri, who is receiving votes in the AP Poll, moved to 11-2 with the loss. The setback was the Tigers&#8217; first loss in Mizzou Arena since last season.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois struck first from Columbia just 27 seconds into the action as <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/fightingillini.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/kendall-bostic\/12999\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"12999\" target=\"_blank\">Kendall Bostic<\/a><\/dfn> connected for a long jumper.

The Orange and Blue outscored Missouri 14-7 in the frame to that point and would ultimately take a 40-33 lead into the locker\u00a0room at halftime. McKenzie led the Illini with 10 points in the half with six of seven Illini tallying at least four points.<\/p>\n<p>In the opening half, Illinois connected on 5-of-9 3-pointers in addition to shooting 58.6 percent from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the half, McKenzie got the scoring started again less than a minute in and would add\u00a0five-straight points for the Illini. After a three-point play for the Tigers, UI went on a 6-0 run spanning just a minute to open up a 56-43 advantage. Coming out of the Mizzou break, the Tigers went on a 5-0 run before the Illini returned the favor for a 61-48 lead after three quarters.<\/p>\n<p>While Missouri would outscore the Illini by three in the final frame (18-15), Illinois locked down on defense and would earn the McBride Homes Braggin&#8217; Rights victory in enemy territory.<\/p>\n<p><dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/fightingillini.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/brynn-shoup-hill\/13012\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"13012\" target=\"_blank\">Brynn Shoup-Hill<\/a><\/dfn> connected for two of her four 3-pointers on the night in the final quarter.
