COLUMBIA — Alyssa Hollins was on the women’s basketball team when the Tigers made the 2006 NCAA Tournament, but she was just a freshman watching from the bench. A year ago, she started 30 of 31 games for Missouri, but she was by no means the No. 1 option. Hollins averaged 11.5 points per game, but she was just one of four players in double figures. Then, seven seniors graduated and the cupboard was suddenly bare, sans Hollins.
