COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) -- RaeShara Brown scored a career-high 27 points to help Missouri overcome a 12-point deficit in the final minutes of regulation and upset No. 22 Texas 85-80 in overtime on Saturday.
San Antonio native Christine Flores added 24 points to give Missouri (9-6, 1-0) and new coach Robin Pingeton a signature Big 12 win in the conference opener for both teams.
Ashleigh Fontenette and Chassidy Fussell scored 22 points each for Texas (11-4, 0-1). The defeat marked fourth-year Texas coach Gail Goestenkors' first loss to Missouri after five straight wins.
Texas was in control most of the game against a team that earned just two conference wins and finished in last place in the 2009-10 Big 12 season, leading to the departure of longtime coach Cindy Stein. The Longhorns stretched a four-point halftime lead to a 72-60 advantage with under three minutes remaining before Missouri's late run.
