[photo: @jadeeejones/IG]Tyrese Haliburton could not sit beside her fiancée because he had to stay on the bench to support his teammates. She looked comfortable due to an oversized brown faux fur shawl wrapped around her. Jones, wearing a matte black slimming body suit with calf-length brown boots, gamely asked for some companion.Cunningham could not attend the game, but she saw the Pacers carve up the Sacramento Kings for a 116-105 home win. Haliburton’s backcourt partner, Andrew Nembhard, led the hosts with 28 points, 12 assists, four rebounds and two steals.Sophie Cunningham keeps track of Missouri women’s basketballThe WNBA is in the offseason, allowing Sophie Cunningham to keep track of college basketball. Unsurprisingly, she monitors Missouri games. After spending four seasons (2015-16 to 2018-19) with the Tigers, the sharpshooting guard remains a big fan.On Sunday, the Tigers dispatched the SIU Edwardsville Cougars 65-56, earning a reaction from the Fever free agent. Cunningham gave a one-word response to Missouri’s fourth straight win:“MIZ.”Sophie Cunningham @sophallerLINKMIZLast season, the Tigers finished with a 14-18 record. Despite the struggles, Missouri fans never wavered in their support of the team. This season, they are more excited due to the Tigers’ superb start. They opened the 2025-26 campaign with four straight wins. The Kellie Harper-coached team now owns a 9-2 record after beating the Cougars, prompting Sophie Cunningham to react.There are much tougher tests awaiting the Tigers down the road. They have a highly anticipated showdown against Texas (No. 2) to open 2026 before visiting Kentucky (No. 15) and Vanderbilt (No. 14).Nobody will be surprised if Cunningham, a diehard supporter of her alma mater, reacts to future Missouri games.
