The Missouri Tigers are picked 11th in the SEC preseason poll, but will rely on senior Morgan Eye and her eye for the three point shot when it comes to raising expectations and wins.  The Tigers have back-to-back winning season and postseason appearances.

Eye, a senior from Montrose, Missouri, finished last season with 108 three pointers, sixth-most in the nation and her second consecutive year with more than 100.  She needs 103 this season to set the NCAA mark and Head Coach Robin Pingeton thinks she can get there.

“She’s had a tremendous offseason and over the course of the last four year’s she’s (Eye) got a much better understanding of change of speed on cuts and angles,” Pingeton told the SEC Network.  “Everybody knows she’s got a target on her back.  She’s got to come off a lot of screening action.  Her basketball I.Q. has led to being able to get so many different types of shots off.”

Eye is Mizzou’s all-time three-point leader at 283 and finished second in the nation averaging 3.48 three-point field goals per game.

South Carolina was predicted to win the 2015 Southeastern Conference women’s basketball championship in a voting of a select panel of both SEC and national media members.
