The OU women’s basketball team will look for a bounce-back win as it comes home to take on the Missouri Tigers at 2 p.m. Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center.

This game is the Sooners’ last chance to even the series — 29-28 in favor of the Tigers — before Mizzou leaves for the Southeastern Conference next season.

The Sooners are looking for some redemption after suffering a 27-point shellacking at the hands of the No. 1 Baylor Bears on Monday.

After the loss, OU sits at third in the Big 12, posting records of 15-7 overall and 7-4 in conference play.

The Tigers have a 10-12 overall record but a winless Big 12 record (0-10).

Against Baylor, the Sooners were led by their captain, junior guard Whitney Hand, who played the full 40 minutes and scored 20 points while grabbing six boards and dishing out four assists.

Hand was one of only two Sooners to score in double digits against the Bears, so plenty of the Sooners are left with something to prove after such a performance.

OU beat Missouri in a nail-biter, 62-59, in the teams’ previous meeting Jan. 28 in Columbus, Mo.

Mizzou, much like OU, is coming off a loss. The Tigers fell to Iowa State on Wednesday on their home court.

Despite the Tigers’ 11-game losing streak, Missouri coach Robin Pingeton believes in her team.

“The players are resilient,” Pingeton said. “I can probably count on one hand the amount of bad practices that we’ve had, so that’s really encouraging. We’ve just got to continue to roll up our sleeves and work hard. It’s challenging, but I do believe we’re getting better. I’m proud of our girls.”

The Sooners are looking for a solid performance against Missouri to build momentum heading into Monday’s home matchup with No. 3-ranked UConn.

The halftime festivities of Saturday’s game against the Tigers will feature a 10-year reunion celebration for the 2002 Sooners squad that reached the Final Four.
